Another memorable and extremely simple Guest Chef addition that I wanted to share this week is simple baked chicken with rich and creamy Maple Dijon Glaze. Offered by Jana Young Baron. This luscious dish is incredibly easy, delicious, and ready in less than 30 minutes!

Jana’s tips “Last 15 minutes I put rosemary on top. I used dried and fresh from my garden. It is really good! I have made it for company and they loved it!” Serve over rice with a side of veggie of choice.

Thanks, Jana! This dish is amazing & we all loved it!! SO Easy!!
