Can you use chicken breasts?
Yes, you can! You might have to adjust the cooking times - depends if you use skinless, boneless chicken breasts that are thinly sliced.
So delicious my husband is speechless so
incredible yummy
Absolutely awesome. I'm cooking from a pandemic refrigerator, so I didn't have exactly everything - I had pancacke syrup, not maple syrup. I had Stone ground mustard, not Dijon. I had Green Beans, not Brussels Sprouts. It did not matter one bit. This was totally delicious and I thank you!!! The flavor combinations were subtle, and soooo yummy. Will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing!
Hey thank you for mentioning your substitutions. I'm working with the same syrup and mustard limitations and wasn't sure about it. 🙂
I just made this tonight it was so good I switched Brussel sprouts to zucchini
Absolutely delicious and so "pretty" as well that we took a photo!
This has been added to the household favorites! Sometimes we'll be out of maple syrup, so we'll substitute in honey thinned out with a splash of water. Always delicious!
This turned out beautifully! Well done!
Micah, I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to share such a positive comment!
Planning to make it this week. Saw it on your Facebook. Looks delicious!
Love this recipe! As is, very delicious. Next time I am going to add herb (thyme) and some heat. Hubby cleaned his plate. Very good sheet pan recipe. Thanks!
Glad you liked this recipe! Thank you so much for the feedback!
The temperature was too high it started to burn and you need to spray the pan/foil I had to turn it to 350-300 so the name syrup / Dijon muskrats Glass didn’t burn Disappo Noting
Ok, I figured out that "name" = Maple, and "muskrats" = mustard, but lost after that. Perhaps "Disappo Noting" is supposed to be "disappointing"? Either way, I'll never understand why people don't proofread their comments, lol.
I'm looking forward to trying this tonight, but it will be on boneless/skinless thighs (I've been trying to find a chicken recipe to serve with butternut squash soup). I'll just use a meat thermometer to determine doneness. It sounds SO GOOD!!
