Ingredients for servings

    Sweet Apple & Mustard Chicken

  • 0.25 cup whole-grain mustard or your favorite kind of mustard

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 0.5 cup chopped parsley

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast

  • 0.5 tsp salt

  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the mustard, olive oil, applesauce, vinegar, honey and parsley. Add the chicken breasts, and marinate for 20 minutes or wait overnight if desired.

  • Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade). Season with salt and pepper.

  • Grill the chicken breasts until cooked through or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F (74°C), 4–6 minutes per side.

  • If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the chicken breasts. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Bake the chicken for 30–40 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and opaque.
