I’m going to level with you here, when I first heard dijon mustard and maple syrup together over chicken…. I thought, ewe. But, somewhere deep inside of me a voice was saying “Ya know, you used to be a pb&j, lean cuisine, bottled ranch dressing on everything kind of gal. Think of what you were missing!” So I decided to be brave and give this whole sweet syrup and spicy mustard thing a try. Oh am I glad that I did! Who knew that two totally crazy ingredients would work so well together! I mean, I don’t even like dijon mustard on sandwiches and maple syrup is something you put over pancakes, not chicken. Right? Wrong! This flavor pairing is SO yummy! The chicken is moist and flavorful and the sauce has sweet undertones with a spicy kick! Even if you’re a little (or a lot!) apprehensive at first, you absolutely have to give this Maple Dijon Chicken a try, you just might be surprised how much you love it! If you like this Maple Dijon Chicken, you’ll love my Grilled Malibu Chicken, Grilled Chicken Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing, Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches, and Pina Colada Chicken Salad.
