Bold Twist: Maple Mustard Chicken Tacos

Today’s Unique Recipe: Maple Mustard Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a fun twist on classic chicken tacos that’s perfect for a casual weeknight dinner. I was inspired to create this dish by the changing seasons and my love for experimenting with bold flavors. These Maple Mustard Chicken Tacos are a playful combination of sweet and tangy that will surely surprise your taste buds!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• chicken breast (boneless, skinless) – 400g
• maple syrup – 60ml
• whole grain mustard – 30g
• garlic (minced) – 2 cloves
• onion (sliced) – 1 medium
• bell pepper (sliced) – 1 large
• taco shells – 8
• olive oil – 30ml
• salt and pepper – to taste

In terms of kitchen tools, you’ll need:

• knife
• cutting board
• skillet
• tongs
• mixing bowl

To start, slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the maple syrup, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together, ensuring the chicken is well coated in the sweet and tangy marinade. Let it sit for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to combine.

Warm up the taco shells according to the package instructions. Fill each taco shell with the Maple Mustard Chicken mixture and serve hot.

This dish weighs approximately 1,200g once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is about 300g and packs a flavorful punch with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some chopped fresh cilantro on top of the tacos before serving. The bright, herbaceous flavor will contrast beautifully with the sweet and tangy chicken filling.

I hope you enjoy making these Maple Mustard Chicken Tacos as much as I do! Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add a side of Mexican rice and beans to complete the meal. Happy cooking!
