Made with just seven ingredients, this recipe for Maple Mustard Chicken Skillet makes a great weeknight dinner. It’s a paleo, gluten-free and full of flavor!
Hi friends!
Time for another easy weeknight skillet dinner. This recipe is brought to you by the fact that these are pretty much the only ingredients I had available to eat yesterday. We haven’t been to the grocery store for a while. My parents arrived yesterday afternoon and we’re cooking up a full Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow so I’ve been trying to clear out some space in the fridge!
Anyways, we’ve been all about chicken lately and I’ve been trying to come up with some flavorful sauces to jazz things up. This sauce is just 4 ingredients – maple syrup, mustard, garlic and ginger. Guys- it’s so flavorful and so good! Chop up some chicken and sweet potatoes and add a bag of frozen green beans to a skillet. Toss in the sauce, stick it in the oven and boom! Dinner is served.
I made this recipe twice this week. The first time I tried just pouring the sauce over the chicken and letting everything cook in rows as pictured above. That ended up making the beans and sweet potatoes on the bottom cook all the way and the ones on the top not cook enough. So, the next time I stirred everything up before cooking and then gave it all a good stir every 10 minutes when it was in the oven and that solved the problem. Also, make sure to slice your sweet potatoes fairly thin and chop them pretty small so they cook all the way!
Here’s how you make it:

Such a quick and easy weeknight dinner! I love that it’s made in one skillet! yum!
This sauce sounds like it would be good on pretty much everything- a few of my favorite things combined!
Maple Mustard sauces are some of my go-tos, I posted one last week with my autum root vegetable salad that I did for Thanksgiving.
Looking good! I love having new options to make for dinner that aren’t just plain chicken breasts all the time haha.
I love these kind of recipes! I like your flavor combo here- I must admit, I tried to whip up some gingerbread raspberry muffins yesterday because it literally was the only things I had on hand… #pinterest fail lol! Live and learn I guess, right?!
What a fun and fresh way to serve a quick and healthy dinner! One can never have enough of recipes likes this, thank you for sharing!
I’m loving my new cast-iron skillet and one-dish wonder meals. This one looks oh so easy and tasty! 🙂
I MUST try this. I’ve just been getting into stone ground mustard lately (didn’t really care for mustard until then). Plus maple syrup?!? This looks great. Pinning for quick dinner this next week 🙂
Skillet dinners are my fav!!!!! Mustard with any type of protein just WORKS. Making this!
I’ve been obsessed with mustard lately… it is soooo yummy! Pinned this one for next week’s dinner plans.

Wow, this is super easy. I never thought to use maple syrup with mustard but I have it laying around so I’ll give it a try! Thanks!
I love recipes that go from the stove to the oven in one pot. It makes clean up so much easier and the meal it self is usually much tastier 🙂
