I don’t know about you, but my life can be incredibly busy. When life gets crazy I can barely get dinner on the table each day, never mind prepare an ultra-complicated meal. This is why I LOVE recipes like this easy Maple Dijon Roasted Chicken – it takes mere minutes to prepare with a 4-ingredient glaze and it roasts to perfection in less than an hour, which is more than enough time to throw together a side salad, load the dishwasher, listen to a podcast, AND help your kids with homework. Trust me, I’ve done it!!
The thing about a busy lifestyle is, it can often mean resorting to pre-made or frozen meals or other less nutritious or less natural meal options. In our family, eating real whole foods is important and so I’m constantly on the hunt for new ways to enjoy delicious food that’s simple, easy-to-make, but also made from real ingredients without added preservatives or chemicals. This Maple Dijon Roasted Chicken is all that and more!

Look at all of that gorgeous color! Roasting chicken brings out all that great flavor!

Thanks! Enjoy!
My family LOVES this recipe, thank you!!!
You’re so welcome! 🙂
This chicken dish looks amazing! I wish this was dinner tonight! I will be adding it to my menu this week!
Hope you love it! 🙂
ok, now I’m hungry!! LOL my husband can’t eat chicken so I can do this with turkey thighs! Thank you Chrissie!
Thanks so much! Enjoy! 🙂
This looks absolutely delicious! Yummy!
Thanks so much!!🙂
LOVE this flavor combo…perfect any time of year!
We agree 😉 Thanks!
Just wondering if I could do this on the BBQ instead of the stove oven cause the weather is warm and we prefer cooking outside, if I can, does the cooking time still the same? Thank you, can’t wait to try it !!!!
Yes, just grill it until it reaches the correct internal temperature! 🙂
I’m wondering if I could layer some potatoes on the bottom of the roasting pan if the chicken is on the rack? Thanks so much! Trying for dinner this evening!
Yes, you could absolutely do that!
