Mustard and maple chicken strips

Recipe for chicken strips with mustard and maple

Ingredients for 4 people:

• 500 g chicken strips
• 200 g new potatoes
• 200 g Brussels sprouts
• 60 ml of maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of old-fashioned mustard
• 2 cloves of fresh garlic
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper seasoning

Preparation :

Clean the Brussels sprouts and new potatoes. Peel the garlic cloves and crush them. Prepare the marinade at least 30 minutes before cooking: mix maple syrup, vegetable oil, mustard, garlic powder and crushed, thyme (or rosemary), cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Then place the meat and vegetables inside. Ideally, let the meat and vegetables marinate overnight. This way, the flavors will soak in well.

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the potatoes and Brussels sprouts on the baking dish (separating them). Let the vegetables cook completely, about twenty minutes. Remove the vegetables from the dish to add the chicken strips. Allow about ten minutes for the meat, but keep an eye on the cooking because the chicken strips cook relatively quickly.

Variations of this recipe

If you don't like chicken strips, you can always replace them with wings, thighs, forelegs or breasts. By choosing larger pieces of meat, you can cook vegetables and meat at the same time. You can also opt for barbecue cooking for the meat. Take advantage of the beautiful days and sunny weekends to have lunch outside with family and/or friends.

Young and old alike generally enjoy potatoes. It's not the same story with Brussels sprouts... You can replace them with broccoli, cauliflower or carrots. Want to stay sweet and mild? Replace the potatoes with sweet potatoes.

For maple syrup, we recommend using maple syrup amber has dark, knowing that the darker its color, the more complex its taste. As for mustard, grain mustard is the most suitable for this recipe. You can also easily replace it with already crushed mustard. You might even be tempted by the maple butter mustard or that with maple and cider. We also offer a old-fashioned Dijon mustard with maple and one smoked maple mustard.
