Maple Mustard-Glazed Chicken

When I saw Cathy @ Noble Pig posted the recipe in November last year, I knew that this recipe was going to be my favorite recipe. I must admit that I always have difficulty when it comes to cook chicken breast. I tend to over cook it, since I always get scared that I might under cook the breast and my family will get e-c0li bacteria. It all changed after I tried this recipe. My family was very happy and since then, they always requested this recipe. And my son requested that I should remember to buy maple syrup soon, and try to make it with maple syrup instead of honey. 

Please visit her "Maple Mustard-Glazed Chicken" for the original recipe and the  step by step technique. Or, use my recipe that I've adapted slightly by adding tarragon and marjoram. I've to substituted  maple syrup for honey, because I didn't happen to have it in my pantry at the time.
