Made with wholesome ingredients, this Dump and Bake Cider Glazed Chicken is an easy 30-minute meal for those nights when you just don’t feel like cooking! There’s no prep work necessary for a healthy dinner!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Martin’s Food Markets. All opinions are 100% mine.

Just because a meal is simple and quick does not mean that I need to sacrifice nutrition. After all, if I’m raising three active little boys I need a lot of delicious and healthy meals up my sleeve. That’s why I love shopping at Martin’s — I can beeline my way to the Nature’s Promise® line of products that I know I can trust…at an affordable price!

The Nature’s Promise® “Free from” food products are just that — free from nonessentials such as artificial colors, artificial flavors, and artificial preservatives. This means that I can feel good about making them a part of our meals knowing that I’m giving my family the best.

What Chicken to Buy

For this particular meal I used a package of Nature’s Promise® “Free from” boneless skinless chicken breasts that were individually portioned and wrapped. These are a nice petite 4-ounce size and the package is just the right amount to serve our family.

The small chicken breasts help with portion control and they also decrease the cooking time, which is great for fast weeknight meals. If you’re cooking for just one or two, you can open as much chicken as you need and pop the rest of the individually-wrapped pieces in the freezer for another date. No waste, which is an added bonus!

I also picked up a bottle of Nature’s Promise® Organic Spicy Brown Mustard, which gives the pan sauce a perfect “zip” to balance the sweetness of the cider and maple syrup. I appreciate that I can conveniently grab these affordable and healthy choices while shopping at Martin’s, knowing that I’m not sacrificing quality for convenience.

Servings Suggestions

Simple dump-and-bake (or “One Dish”) meals like this are nice because they don’t require extra time for prep and there aren’t many dishes to wash at the end of the day! It’s “fast food” done RIGHT, and it’s a cozy, comfort food supper that I can feel good about serving.

Add some steamed veggies (microwave is fine) and a crusty loaf of whole grain bread from the Martin’s bakery and you’ve got healthy cider glazed chicken on the table in about 30 minutes. Can’t beat that!

Top Tips for Making Cider Glazed Chicken

• Use boneless chicken breasts to speed up the cooking time
• Bring the chicken to room temperature before cooking otherwise the meat might be tough
• Make sure the chicken is fully coated in the sauce before cooking
• If you are unsure if the chicken is cooked all the way through try using a meat thermometer, it needs to be 165F in the center to be cooked through
• If you use larger chicken breasts extend the cooking time to 30-40 minutes and check the temperature if unsure.

Ingredients

• 24 ounces about 6 small Nature’s Promise boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• ¾ cup apple cider
• ¾ cup Nature’s Promise Organic Spicy Brown Mustard
• ½ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Spray a large baking dish (I used a deep 11 x 7-inch dish) with cooking spray.

2. In a large measuring cup or directly in the dish, whisk together cider, mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, and oil until completely combined.
3. Sprinkle chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Place chicken in the dish with the sauce and toss to make sure that each piece of chicken is well coated. Place sprigs of fresh herbs in the dish (tucked alongside the chicken).
5. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. If you’re using larger chicken breasts you will need to extend the cooking time to 30-40 minutes.
6. Be sure to spoon plenty of the delicious sauce over the chicken before serving!
