Very good but I am not a fan of the orange flavor in the sauce. I will try it again without the zest. I cooked the chicken in butter because cooking spray is blasphemy. I also used regular syrup instead of a true maple. I think that would make a difference in the sauce because the Dijon flavor was a little overwhelming.
