    Ingredients

    There are three parts to this recipe: the chicken, the rice and the sauce. The sauce has just five ingredients, seven with the chicken and rice.

    Before you begin cooking, make sure to gather your ingredients. You'll need chicken breasts, rice, maple syrup, dijon mustard, soy sauce and cranberries. Once all the ingredients are ready, start prepping the meal!

    Chicken

    We use boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you could also use boneless thighs as well.

    Rice

    Brown or white rice are the most recommended for this recipe.

    Sauce

    This simple sauce has just FIVE ingredients!

    • Maple syrup
    • Stone ground mustard
    • Coconut sugar or brown sugar
    • Soy sauce (can use gluten free soy sauce)
    • Cornstarch

    Optional: (oregano for sprinkling over the top of the mixture)

    Preparing

    On the stovetop set to medium heat, cook the chicken breasts until browned on both sides and internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes before cutting the chicken into bite sized pieces.

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice using the directions on the package. You can use the stovetop rice cooking method or use a rice cooker.

    After the chicken has cooked, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan set to medium heat, bring the maple syrup, mustard, sugar, soy sauce and cornstarch to a boil. Stir frequently until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the chicken, stirring to combine.

    Place the rice in a bowl or on a plate. Top with maple mustard chicken mixture then a sprinkling of oregano if desired. Serve.

    FAQ

    Can I adjust the amount of mustard I use?

    Yes, I like this sweeter with just a hint of mustard, so I opt for the adjusted amount of mustard.

    It's too sweet.

    You can omit the sugar if you would like.

    Is it gluten free?

    Yes, this recipe is FODMAP friendly, gluten free and dairy free.

    Do I have to use stone ground mustard?

    No, I've used yellow mustard and dijon mustard in a pinch before and it works just fine. The taste will change just a little bit.

    Storing

    You can store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Just reheat in the microwave or for a few minutes on the stovetop.

    Freezing

    This is a great freezer meal too. You can freeze any leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to one month.

      This chicken is AMAZING! The sauce was super easy to make, and I love the stone-ground mustard in it (we used Koop's brand mustard). Delicious! Will definitely make again.
