I’m seriously about to grace you with the easiest, tastiest dinner ever made – Maple Mustard Chicken. It’s one of my absolute favorite quick, simple dinners to make.
I love this chicken recipe because it’s made on one sheet pan, but is a complete meal, which means ONE dish to wash.. yes, you read that right.
It also has the most delicious maple/mustard marinade that I legit want to put on pretty much everything – I think you’ll love it!
I came up with this maple mustard chicken and potatoes recipe last year during what was probably the busiest month of my life.
I needed EASY recipes to fall back on, and this Healthy Maple Mustard Chicken quickly became a weekly staple.
why you’ll love this mustard chicken
Ingredients for Crispy Maple Mustard Chicken:
To make maple mustard chicken you’ll need:
- chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- potatoes, brussels sprouts
- maple syrup
- whole grain mustard
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
- rosemary
- olive oil
The key to this recipe is that everything cooks at the same time, so you can just toss it in the oven + not have to think about it. It’s also totally a crowd pleaser!
We love sheet pan meals because they require minimal effort and are always so tasty. This Maple Mustard Pork Tenderloin Dinner is one of our favorites, and I knew the combo on chicken would be just as yummy!
We love this instant-read thermometer for checking the internal temperature to make sure your meat is cooked thoroughly!
How to make Maple Mustard Chicken:
To make maple mustard chicken:
- Whisk together your maple mustard mixture.
- Pour the maple mustard mixture on your brussels sprouts, potatoes, and chicken breasts – making sure everything is evenly coated.
- We like to marinate ours for about 30 minutes. Because everything is cooking at the same temperature and time – you can mix the veggies/chicken together and it is not a food safety issue!
- Bake at 400° for 25 minutes on a parchment paper lined sheet pan until you’ve got perfectly crispy maple mustard chicken!

Substitutions
Herbs: If you don’t like rosemary, you can sub basil or fresh thyme. Either one would be delicious in this dish!
Maple syrup: Any maple syrup will work, but we use real maple syrup! You can also substitute with honey.
Mustard: We prefer whole grain mustard in this recipe, but any mustard will work. You can use brown mustard, dijon mustard, stone ground mustard, or yellow mustard too!
Chicken: If you don’t have chicken breasts, you can use chicken thighs, wings, or even chicken tenders
Veggies: You can sub brussels sprouts with broccoli or butternut squash. Baby carrots would also work.
Potatoes: You can substitute fingerling potatoes for russet potatoes cut in roughly the same size. We have not tried using sweet potatoes.
Grilling: This marinade is amazing on grilled chicken!
Other Ways to Cook Maple Chicken
Crockpot/Instant Pot: We have not tried making this in our crockpot/instant pot and wouldn’t recommend it. The oven helps to broil the chicken and get a crispy glaze on top of the chicken that you can’t get in the crockpot or instant pot. If you would like to try it, you can follow the instructions in this post for Lemon Garlic Chicken Dinner for crockpot/instant pot.
Grilling: This marinade is fantastic on the grill! It’s also delicious on grilled veggies. If you would like another grilled option, try our Grilled Balsamic Chicken Recipe.
Skillet: You can pan sear this chicken, but we don’t recommend it. You’ll need to use multiple pans for all the components of the dish, and it’s much easier to cook on one pan in the oven!
Is it safe to use the same marinade from the chicken on the veggies?
I’ve had a few people ask if this is safe to do because you’re technically cross contaminating the brussels with raw chicken marinade. If you were cooking the vegetables at a different temperature or length of time than the chicken, this would be a BIG no.
Since everything is going in the oven at once and cooking for the same amount of time – you’re in the clear! However, if this idea still bothers you, simply divide the marinade up before adding it to the chicken!
Storing Maple Mustard Chicken:
Storing: We recommend storing this chicken in the fridge for up to 4 days. It is great for meal prepping!
Freezing: I haven’t frozen this recipe, but I do not think it would freeze well.
Reheating: You can reheat this chicken in the microwave, but we recommend using a toaster oven!

Sheet pan dinners are simply the best. They’re such an easy recipe to make (and clean up!) here are some of our favorites:
Maple Mustard Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts butterflied + pounded until thin
- 2 cups brussels sprouts halved (about 1 lb)
- 2 cups fingerling potatoes halved, lengthwise (about 1 lb)
Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Clean, cut and pound chicken until thin. This is optional, but will help to make the chicken tender + ensure it cooks evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for the marinade. It should be thick. Add chicken, brussels and potatoes to a ziploc bag or bowl and cover with marinade. Toss everything to coat evenly.
- Marinate for a minimum of 5 minutes (The longer you can marinate, the better. 30 mins – 1 hour is perfect, but overnight is best.)
- Prepare a lined baking sheet and preheat oven to 400. Remove chicken from bag or bowl and place on baking sheet.
- Lay brussels/potatoes on sheet next to chicken.
- Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes until chicken starts to brown. You can broil for 2-3 minutes to get a crispier finish if you prefer.

Glad you like it, Erin! The marinade is great on pretty much anything! We use it on chicken all the time but have also done pork and salmon!

Great Flavor and super fast and easy to make. I’m going to try more of the sheet pan recipes.
So glad you like it, Savannah! Sheet pan meals are my favorite 🙂

This was really good, made even better
Leftovers cut up on a salad in the lunch pail
This makes me so happy to hear, Jo! The leftovers are definitely great – we love them!
I made the Healthy Maple Mustard Chicken tonight and it was delicious. I used fresh basil from my garden instead of Rosemary. I didn’t do the veggies cause I had fresh beans, corn, tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden.
Yay!! So glad you liked it, Lori. Sounds delicious with all the summer produce you used!
This recipe is so simple! I only made the chicken and opted to make different roasted veg. I used fresh minced garlic since I had no powder on hand but wow! The flavour is great it’s beyond easy and even though I only marinated for about 5-10 mins it turned out perfect after 25 mins! Must try- even if your cautious like I was since I hardly use grainy mustard but trust me you won’t regret it!
I’m so glad you liked it!! We don’t use a ton of whole grain mustard but I love the flavor it brings to this!
If you love mustard and maple syrup you have to try this! It’s super simple to make, easy to clean up and easily doubled or even tripled for meal prepping. I substituted broccoli for the brussel sprouts and tripled the recipe for meal prepping for the week. The marinade gave the chicken and veggies so much flavor, I even threw the potatoes in there too! Will definitely be making this again.
Thanks, Lynette!! I did what you did tonight + doubled the recipe for meal prep!! The marinade seriously goes well on ANYTHING!
This recipe was so delicious! I cant wait to make it again! Thank you for an amazing and delicious recipe!
I’m so glad you liked it, Martha!!
Not only is this recipe so so simple, but it’s fast and I generally have everything already at home to whip this up whenever we want it. It’s been a weekly staple since I discovered this recipe. We usually marinate the chicken and then throw it on the grill and it’s delicious!
How have I never tried grilling this!? OMG!! That sounds so good! I’m glad you’re loving the recipe!!
This is a easy delicious recipe that is kid friendly. I substituted broccoli instead of Brussels and didn’t use maple syrup. My son was asking when I was going to make it again
So glad you liked it, Rebeka!! And that your son liked it too 🙂
Love this base! Flexible for so much. Used it with salmon tonight. Sweet + salty is the best.
I’m so glad you liked it, Ann! It’s one of our favorites 🙂
This was So. Good. A perfect way to mix up chicken bakes for fall!!
Yay!! Love hearing that!! It’s also great on pork or fish 🙂
By FAR my favorite chicken recipe ever!

I love this flavour!! I cook the chicken in a 9×13 in the marinade & we all enjoy it! Stirred in spinach tonight just about 15 mins from the end -so delicious :). Thanks for sharing
I’m so glad to hear this, Marianne!! I’m going to try that with the spinach – sounds delish! The marinade is also really great on pork tenderloin on the grill 🙂

Sheet pan dinners are the best! This looks so tasty and easy 🙂
Right? There’s nothing better than a quick easy dinner!
That will be a cool opportunity; to get out of the house and teach; I know what you mean about spending too much time on the computer. I get depressed if I stay on the computer for too lng…
🙂 This looks really yummy too. 🙂
Me too.. I get bored too! It’s good to get up and get away from the screens every once and a while.
A big hit with the family! They aren’t brussel sprout fans so we subbed broccoli and also added onions. Thank you for this recipe! Definitely adding it to my file.
So glad you liked it!
Yummy! The chicken looks succulent! Definitely pinning for a future dinner.
Thank you so much, Tiffany! Hope you enjoy it when you try it 🙂
