Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts trimmed of fat
3/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
fresh rosemary sprigs

Instructions

Cut the chicken into thick strips, vertically (it will shrink as it cooks).
Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Add the chicken to the dish.
Season the chicken liberally with salt & freshly cracked black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, syrup, and vinegar until smooth & evenly combined.
Pour the mixture evenly out over the seasoned chicken.
Sprinkle the rosemary evenly out overtop of the sauce covered chicken.
Bake at 400° for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, and enjoy!

Notes

Don't worry if the chicken strips seem overly long, and don't cut them in half. The chicken will shrink when it cooks, making them the perfect size.
2 pounds of chicken breasts is roughly 3-4 large chicken breasts.
You could use chicken tenderloins or chicken thighs instead of a chicken breast. Just cook and check with a meat thermometer if in doubt.
