Maple-Glazed Chicken

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. maple syrup
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions:
♦Position rack in the upper one-third of the oven. Preheat oven to 500°F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
♦Combine paprika, salt, cinnamon, cumin and pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the chicken and place them on the baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes.
♦Meanwhile, combine the syrup, butter and mustard in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined.
♦After the chicken has baked for 15 minutes, brush it with the maple glaze and bake another 5 minutes. If needed, brush the chicken again and bake until cooked through.

Try it! It's delicious! My mother-in-law doesn't like cumin, so whenever we make it for her, we leave it out. It's good both ways. :)
