Maple-Mustard Grilled Chicken Breasts
with quinoa tabouleh

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
Maple syrup, mustard, and a splash of vinegar liven up chicken breasts with sweetness, sharpness, and tartness all at the same time. We pair it with a quinoa tabouleh, that pairs bright and zesty parsley and lemon juice with a medley of colorful summery vegetables.
