I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy weeknight meals that require minimal effort, and I've found that there are three essential criteria that every recipe must meet before it earns a spot on my dinner rotation. First, it must rely heavily on pantry and refrigerator staples for convenience. Second, the prep and cleanup process must be swift and simple. And third, the dish must be packed with flavor. The maple-Dijon chicken thighs recipe hits all these marks.
The classic pairing of maple syrup and Dijon mustard is a match made in heaven (it's also great for pork), but by adding a few pantry spices like soy sauce and apple cider vinegar, the sauce becomes even more amazing. Baking the chicken thighs in the same pan as the sauce not only saves time but also ensures that the meat absorbs all the delicious flavors. Served with steamed rice to soak up the sauce, this dish is a winner.
You'll never have juicier chicken. The maple-Dijon sauce soaks into the chicken thighs as they bake, resulting in tender, flavorful, and incredibly juicy meat.
It's a one-pan wonder. The sauce is mixed right in the baking dish, and you simply add the chicken. This approach is ideal for those busy evenings when you don't want to deal with a pile of dishes after dinner.
