How to Make Maple Dijon Grilled Chicken

Follow along to learn how to make Maple Dijon Grilled Chicken. The best!

• Step One: Preheat the barbecue to medium heat.
• Step Two: In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, thyme and garlic.

• Step Three: Make shallow cuts to both sides of the chicken.
• Step Four: Brush marinade over both sides of the chicken.

• Step Five: Place chicken on the barbecue with lid down. Turn and baste often with marinade for the first five minutes. Continue to barbecue until the chicken feels springy when pressed and a meat thermometer reaches 165°F, about 5 to 7 more minutes, depending on your barbecue.

I selected chicken breasts for this recipe, but you could always use another cut of chicken. Just use the same marinade and grill away!

Once you have your chicken, whip up the marinade. I bet you already have the ingredients! All you’ll need is maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic and fresh thyme. If you don’t have fresh thyme readily available, it’s ok to leave it out. I just like the pop of color it adds and the fresh flavor profile.

Brush the marinade on your chicken breasts a few times at the start of cooking. After that, you should have enough of the flavour infused into the meat. Serve with a pasta salad, BBQ potato or another summer side. You could even put a chicken breast on a bun and top with a mixture of Dijon mustard and maple syrup for an added punch of flavour. I’m getting hungry just writing this post. How about you?
