Ingredients You Need

• Chicken: You can use chopped boneless chicken breast or boneless skinless thighs.

• Apple: This adds subtle sweetness and fresh flavor.
• Chicken Broth: You can substitute with vegetable broth or water, if desired.
• Maple Syrup: You can use honey or another type of sweetener.
• Grainy Dijon Mustard: Course dijon mustard with the seeds is preferred, but you can use any type of dijon mustard.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: You can substitute with white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar, however the flavor may be stronger so I would substitute with less.
• Spices: Fresh thyme and rosemary add the best flavor to the sauce. You can use substitute with 1/4 each of dried thyme and rosemary, if desired.

Expert Tips

• Chop the vegetables and chicken in advance to save time.
• You can prep the sauce in advance, but you may need to whisk it again before adding to the dish.
• Swap the vegetables with some of your other favorite flavors like broccoli, green beans or red potatoes.
