Throwback Thursday, Mustard Maple Pecan Chicken Thighs
This is a tried and true recipe of mine,
and it checks all of my favorite boxes
easy 5 minute prep ✅
can be assembled early in the day and baked later ✅
family friendly ✅
no clean up ✅
Chicken thighs and a few pantry ingredients are all you need
for this easier than take-out dinner
Line your baking pan with heavy duty foil
or 2 layers of regular foil
Choose a pan that hugs your chicken,
you want it smothered in the sauce
When chicken is done, toss the foil away for easy clean up
Baste chicken half way through baking
Serve topped with butter pecan halves or chopped pecans
If you want to omit the pecans, that’s fine
There is plenty of flavor in these little bundles 😋
You can’t go wrong with this easy recipe!
I like to serve it with Roasted Sweet Potato Spinach Salad

Always on the lookout for a Good chicken recipe and your recipe fits the bill. thank you.
Thanks Bernadette, it’s a good one!
I have all the stuff for this — looks like Friday night dinner!
Oh good Jeanie, I hope you love it!
Looks like a delicious recipe Jenna. I would probably use the breasts I have on hand rather than thighs and I looked at the Roasted Sweet Potato Spinach Salad recipe and I am definitely making that too. You have the best meal plans!
Thanks Emily, breast will work too, I like to use thighs because they tend to be juicer. I hope you enjoy!
Chicken is a staple and I know my hubby would love this. Thank you, Jenna and Happy Thursday!
Thank you Pam!
Maple and mustard are such a great combination!
Yes, one of my favorites!
I looked at your salad recipe too. They both look so delicious, and who doesn’t like the idea of easy cleanup?
I know, right? Thanks Linda!
Chicken thighs are my absolute favourite! These look so succulent, juicy and flavourful.
Yes, mine too!
Sure sounds nice and easy, and I love the clean-up:@)
Gotta love no clean up!
Oh, my goodness, this sounds wonderful! Chicken and pecans–a wonderful twosome–and adding the mustard/maple makes it parfait! My mouth is watering. And the salad sounds like the perfect accompaniment. It’s a big time winner!–Georgia Gal
Thanks Georgia Gal, it’s so good plus so easy to make!
This looks absolutely AMAZING! I only have bone-in chicken thighs in the freezer (who knows why), but they may work.
Thanks Pattie, bone in will work just fine!
So quick and easy Jenna and I love no clean up! Hope you’re staying warm and cozy this weekend. ♥
Thanks Mary, I love easy and no clean up 🙂
This sounds delicious! I pinned it, and I will probably try it next week. I can have maple syrup, but I’ll have to use plain or salted pecans. Thanks, Jenna!
Thanks Ricki, it’s good without pecans too…chicken thighs have much more flavor than chicken breasts…
Wow, if you love it, it must be good. I will be making this in the near future. Thanks Jenna.
I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
Thank you Linda, very easy!
Yay!! I have all the ingredients to make this, Jenna! No clean up is the best!
Hope you’re staying warm and cozy.
Thanks Kitty, I hope you like it as much as we do!
