Description
This heart healthy Rosemary Chicken Dijon is a flavorful, aromatic dinner made with lean chicken breasts, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and rosemary. It’s gluten-free, diabetic-friendly, low calorie, and contains no added fats or sugars.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
Instructions
1. In a shallow dish, combine all ingredients except the chicken. Add chicken, turning to coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or 20 minutes at room temperature.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Cover and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Fresh rosemary provides a stronger aroma, but dried rosemary works well for convenience.
Serve with steamed vegetables, brown rice, or a fresh salad for a complete heart healthy meal.
