A sweet and savory low-FODMAP dinner, these low-FODMAP Maple and Dijon Chicken Thighs are moist and delicious. This meal is easy, and perfect for any occasion.
Chicken thighs have a slightly higher fat content than chicken breasts, but I find them to be much more succulent and flavorful. Plus, they contain more iron and zinc than their lighter counterparts. So enjoy without any guilt!

Ingredients
- 4-8 (depending on size) bone-in or boneless chicken thighs, skins removed (about 1.5 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons grainy French mustard (no high-FODMAP additives)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Great dish!
As someone who is not a huge fan of mustard, I was a little skeptical of this recipe, but it is truly delicious! The right amount if sweetness with the maple syrup.
My husband found a deal on whole chickens, so after he broke down the meat, we used two breasts, two thighs with drums, and it still came out great!
Irene,
This feedback inspires us. We love this chicken recipe at least once a month too 🙂 Thank you!
Delicious!
We loved this recipe! Thank you!! My husband said he would order this from a restaurant! Thanks for making our low fodmap experience so much easier. I also made bbq sauce (I want to tweak it a bit) and am looking forward to trying Italian chicken and some other recipes.

Have a great day!!
Great stuff!
This was a delicious meal! I didn’t have any safe Dijon, actually, so I used the grainy mustard plus regular yellow mustard instead. Then my sister and I roasted some carrots and zucchini in a separate dish with a little of the leftover sauce over them (along with the usual roast veggie seasonings). We had it all with rice. Filling, tasty, and definitely didn’t feel like we were giving up anything. Thanks!
MJC,
That sounds incredible! We are so happy you enjoyed the Chicken! We love getting feedback like this, it is the inspiration for what we do 🙂
Stay in touch and have a fabulous day!!
easy and good
Thank you for that recipe! The rosemary really added to the flavor. I didn’t have dijon mustard so used a TBS of mayo and some dried mustard instead. I put cut up carrots and baby yukon gold potatoes in the same baking dish (tossed first with a little olive oil) and everything came out perfectly in one dish. I flipped the chicken over and ran it under the broiler for a minute to get everything nice and roasted on both sides. I have never done anything with skinless chicken thighs before and this is a total keeper.
Hi Becky!
We love boneless, skinless thighs. They are so much more rich and flavorful, and very forgiving in cooking 🙂
So happy you loved the recipe! Stay in touch!!
