Sweet Mustard Chicken

11 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Sweet Mustard Chicken is delicious and easy using pure maple syrup, spicy brown mustard and just a hint of red wine vinegar. Just pour over the chicken and bake!

Some of the best recipes seem to come from the simplest ingredients and easy preparations. This Sweet Mustard Chicken is one of the best baked chicken recipes and super easy. Put together quickly, using spicy brown mustard, pure maple syrup and a hint of red wine vinegar, these flavors compliment but don’t overpower each other.

I served it with my Cauliflower Gratin recipe and a nice tossed salad. It would also complement any rice or quinoa side dish. Sprinkle with fresh Rosemary before serving to add that rich savory flavor perfect for chicken.

I doubled this recipe recently and had a couple of breasts left over which were amazing the following day as a chicken salad. Also, if you are making it with rice, I suggest doubling the sauce ingredients before baking.

    This was absolutely delicious! The flavors were so amazing, the sauce was perfect! I used half spicy brown mustard and half stone ground. Loved the sweetness and the vinegar was a great idea. I served this with mashed potatoes and broccoli. A definite make again in our house! Thanks for the recipe.
