🥣 Ingredients for Maple Mustard Baked Chicken

To make this mustard maple chicken recipe, you will simply need to gather a few key ingredients placed on a sheet pan.

1. Chicken Breasts - I prefer chicken breasts because they cook faster than chicken thighs.
2. Dijon Mustard - I prefer the tangy flavor of Dijon mustard, but any mustard will work in this chicken in mustard sauce recipe.
3. Maple Syrup - I use maple syrup as my sweetener for just about everything. However, you can substitute with honey.
4. Butternut Squash - I love using butternut squash, but you can swap with sweet potatoes, or even carrots.
5. Brussels Sprouts - Cruciferous veggies like Brussels sprouts are great for gut health, but you can definitely swap with broccoli too.
6. Olive Oil - This is for the maple Dijon dressing. You can also use avocado oil.
7. Onion - I like to use a sweet yellow onion, but a white onion is perfect too. A red onion will change the flavor slightly, but also works.
8. Oregano - I like oregano paired with mustard recipes, but I have swapped in rosemary and even thyme, and they both work well too.

🍽️ How To Serve This Sheet Pan Chicken In A Mustard Sauce

You get a full dinner or lunch meal without much prep. I like to pair this chicken mustard bake recipe with a nice kale salad. For leftovers as lunch, I also make a bed of massaged kale and top with this chicken and veggie dish.

🍳 Equipment

Sheet pans are the way to go for easy meal prep recipes. Plus, cleanup is so easy when you line them with a sheet of parchment paper. Who else hates cleaning a sink full of dishes?

I personally love the sheet pans by Wilton. These sheet pans are non-stick steel, and dishwasher safe.

❄️ Storage Tips

Store any leftover chicken in a mustard sauce recipe in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. I love to meal prep sheet pan chicken recipes on Sunday evening. Feel free to double the recipe if you have a larger family or want extras.

I haven't frozen this recipe, however, because they are heartier vegetables, they should last 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Be sure to store in a freezer safe container.

😷 Food Safety

Food safety is a serious concern, especially when preparing raw chicken. Here are a few food safety tips to be reminded of.

• Wash hands properly with soap and water for 20 seconds after touching raw chicken.
• Cook chicken to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C)
• Do not use the same utensils on cooked food that previously touched raw chicken. This is especially true if prepping a raw salad on the side.
• Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods.
• Don't wash raw chicken before cooking it. This is not necessary, as any bacteria will be killed after cooking. Washing raw chicken is the fastest way to result in cross contamination and food-borne illness.
