Sweet and Spicy Dijon Chicken - Dairy and Soy Free

Easy enough to make on a weeknight and nice enough to serve to guests.  What more could you want in a recipe?  I may know, this does not need to be marinated in advance.  I found this recipe on Pinterest, where it is listed as World's Best Chicken.  I have made a few changes to reflect our taste.  This recipe has just the right amount of flavour and it produces amazingly tender meat.  I use frozen chicken breasts, if you have fresh chicken you can use that too, just adjust your cooking time.

4 - 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts (we use 4)
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 maple syrup
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1tsp cayenne pepper, adjust if you want more or less spice
salt and pepper to taste



1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine dijon mustard, maple syrup and red wine vinegar in a bowl, stir and set aside.
3. Spray a baking dish (8 x 11 for 4 chicken breasts, 9 x 13 for 6 chicken breasts).
4. Season the chicken breasts with cayenne pepper and salt and pepper.
5. Spread dijon mixture over the chicken.
6. Bake for 20 minutes, turn over chicken and bake for 20 more minutes.
