Grilled Maple Mustard Chicken

Grilled chicken is one easy meal that I make over and over again but this grilled maple mustard chicken just might be my favorite version.

I usually bake my maple mustard chicken but grilling it sends it over the top good.

Having some grilled chicken on hand during the week makes meal-prepping a lot easier. This grilled maple mustard chicken is full of flavor that can be paired with many different sides or even re-purposed and used in a different meal.  

If you’re looking for a really delicious and savory recipe that is similar to this one but is paleo, try this Paleo Honey Mustard Chicken that Sheena from Noshtastic came up with!

Today I paired my chicken with a Eat Smart Wild Greens and Quinoa Salad Kit, which is one of 7 salads in the Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits line. This salad is made up of kale, beet greens, julienned broccoli, carrots, red cabbage, quinoa and almonds AND comes with an avocado herb dressing.

It tasted so good with my grilled chicken!

FYI- I made some bangin’ quesadillas with some of the leftover chicken. I sliced up the chicken and topped it with pepper jack cheese and fresh sliced jalapeños then smothered them in ALLTHESALSA ♥

Told you this chicken was versatile!

The other salads in the chef-inspired Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits line are the Eat Smart Southwest Salad Kit, Eat Smart Sweet Kale Salad Kit (my personal favorite!), Eat Smart Beets and Greens Salad Kit, Eat Smart Roasted Yam Salad Kit, Eat Smart Ginger Bok Choy Salad Kit, and the new Eat Smart Asian Sesame Vegetable Salad Kit. So many flavors to choose from.

Bonus, each kit includes 5 or more superfoods — BOOM, you are now on the nutrition train headed straight to Nutritiousville.

But seriously, did you know that March is National Nutrition Month? Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits are an easy and delicious way to incorporate more nutrition and healthy meals into your diet.

The Eat Smart Gourmet Vegetable Salad Kits make prep time minimal and they’re loaded with fun flavors. Pair them with your favorite meats and make it a meal or eat them on their own for a light and quick meal.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C spicy brown mustard
  • 1/4 C dijon mustard
  • 1/4 C maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary chopped

Instructions

  • See notes about marinating time.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the spicy brown mustard, dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic, rosemary, vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Trim the chicken of any fat and place in a glass baking dish or zip lock bag. Pour 3/4 of the marinade over the chicken and turn the chicken until coated on all sides. Cover and refrigerate the chicken at least 2 hours or overnight. Refrigerate the remaining 1/4 of the marinade in a separate bowl.

  • When the chicken is done, let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.
