"The World's Best Chicken"........?
When I use the word BEST, as in: "BEST Damn Blueberry Ricotta Cake", "BEST onion tart", "BEST Honey Cake Ever", I don't take it lightly.
I use the word "BEST", because I truly think it is the best version of a particular dish that I have ever made.
Of course, it is my opinion only, but you usually agree.
I found this easy recipe on pinterest (where else?), and because the title not only said "best", but "THE WORLD'S BEST Chicken", I had no choice but to try it.
Holy crap, my expectations were certainly high, wouldn't yours be?
Ok, so I made this simple boneless chicken breast recipe just like the recipe said, except I added the fresh rosemary to the sauce before baking, and I used my fancy strong (forte) Dijon mustard straight from Paris.
Verdict: Very good.
A nice mustardy chicken breast served over rice or with a sweet potato and sauteed spinach on a Tuesday night.
I will probably make this again because it is a good low-fat and no brainer recipe.
But "World's Best"? You decide.
I have spoken.
A VERY GOOD Mustard Chicken Recipe: (adapted from Rachel Schultz)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (not thin sliced)
1/2 cup Dijon mustard (I like the strong stuff)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
kosher salt & pepper
1 tbsp of chopped fresh rosemary
Preheat oven to 425F degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, syrup, and vinegar.
There is no need to marinate the breasts, just pour the sauce over the chicken in a baking dish.
Bake for 30 minutes until temperature registers 165F. Slice and serve with some nice veggies.
Enjoy!

So easy, great for a weeknight.
Was it the BEST IN THE WORLD?
No, but it was good!
I love your blog.
I love the leftovers the next day for lunch.
How can you screw this one up (person who had the sauce run off the chicken?). It may not be the BEST as you say, but it certainly is close.
