Eat, Shrink & Be Merry: Dilly Beloved Chicken

I love dill! Anything & everything dill is always delicious! One of my favorite cookbooks is Eat, Shrink & Be Merry by Janet & Greta Podleski. Not only is this cookbook visually awesome, it's also super simple & includes all nutritional information... Big bonus!

Ingredients: 

Marinade:
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tbsp of grainy Dijon mustard
2 tbsp of minced fresh dill (YUM!)
2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice (Don't forget to zest the lemon before squeezing, makes life easier!)
1 tbsp olive oil 
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp of grated lemon zest
1 tsp of minced garlic
1/4 tsp each of salt & pepper

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

• Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken breast in a baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken breasts, pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure they are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day. 
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center 
• Spoon sauce from the bottom of the pan over chicken and serve immediately. 

I serve these up with some mini roasted potatoes sprinkled with dill (Cut the potatoes in half, toss in olive oil, salt and fresh cut dill & bake) and baby carrots! Delish dinner idea for a Tuesday night... 

C'est Savoureux!
