MAPLE BACON CHICKEN

Right now I need all the easy, quick and family friendly dinners I can make. Life. Is. BUSY! And that is actually underplaying it. Between soccer games, field trips, homework, dance, busy toddler and a baby under 1- I am constantly on the go.

This meal was perfection for my family. The flavor was one we could all agree upon. There was none left over and it was truly a hit.

The garlic, bacon, mustard, maple and brown sugar fuse together beautifully and seamlessly. The flavor combo is a match made in heaven! The chicken is cooked to perfection and is complimented wonderfully by the maple bacon glaze.

WHAT TEMPERATURE DOES CHICKEN NEED TO BE COOKED TO?

165 degrees F

This will quickly become a new family favorite and a regular dinner rotation. I am sure you will love it as much as we do!
