For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to the baking dish during roasting. If you don't have cherry tomatoes on hand, grape tomatoes or even diced Roma tomatoes can be substituted. Serve this dish with a side of quinoa, couscous, or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can cover the baking dish with foil during the first 20 minutes of roasting. Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard and garlic to your preference. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
