Maple-Mustard Chicken aka "World's Best Chicken"

I love Pinterest! I remember when it had just started and my sister-in-law was telling me about it. I was so confused. Virtual pin boards?? Whaaaa? And now, I can't stay off the dang site. It's so much fun to browse. I especially love the plethora of recipes. (Fancy word, eh? Learned it from Pinterest. Kidding!)
I pinned this recipe a while back because it sounded super easy and with a name like "World's Best Chicken", it had a lot to live up to. ;)

You mix together Dijon mustard, maple syrup and red wine vinegar and pour it over salt and peppered chicken. Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes and when it comes out, throw some rosemary on the top.

There's this layer of yummy goodness on the top of the chicken that somehow makes the chicken underneath super moist! I honestly wasn't expecting this recipe to be "the best" but it was really delicious! One of the best baked chicken breast recipes out there! This is a great recipe to add to your rotation. I served it with a green salad and it was an easy and tasty weeknight meal. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
