These Curried Chicken Breasts with maple syrup bake up deliciously fragrant in the oven. Serve them over a bowl or couscous or rice to soak up all those yummy flavors!
In a medium bowl whisk together the butter, olive oil, dijon, maple syrup, curry, cayenne and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the mixture over chicken. Cover with tin foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove the cover, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken, and bake about 15-20 minutes longer, until cooked through (baking time will depend a little on how thick your chicken breasts are). The internal temperature should register 165-degrees on a meat thermometer.
Remove from oven, cover, and allow to rest 5 minutes, before serving. Drizzle some of the pan drippings over the top and serve topped with parsley.
