Assembly Directions:
Rinse chicken. Place chicken breasts in a gallon freezer bag. Stir together remaining ingredients in a bowl. Spoon mixture over chicken and seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Squeeze chicken and Dijon sauce around until chicken is evenly coated.

Freezing Directions:

Serving Directions:
Thaw in refrigerator. Pour off marinade from chicken and discard. Arrange chicken in a single layer in desired baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees uncovered 25 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juices run clear.

Re-cover and cook on high an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juices run clear.
