    🛒 Ingredients

    Here's your short list of ingredients to make these Maple-Dijon Chicken Thighs.

    Labeled ingredients for Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs.

    chicken: This recipe is written for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. However you can substitute boneless, skinless breasts. If you use bone-in thighs or breasts, you may need to increase the cooking time by 5-15 minutes. Always check the internal temperature of chicken with an instant-read thermometer.

    Dijon mustard: I have used both regular Dijon mustard and grainy Dijon (also known as Old Style)in this recipe. Both are delicious.

    maple syrup: pure, not pancake syrup

    soy sauce: to keep this meal gluten-free, use tamari soy sauce, or coconut aminos

    garlic: fresh is always best

    oil: extra virgin olive oil

    rosemary: I like to use fresh rosemary, but you can substitute dried if fresh isn't available.
