    Grilled Mustard Chicken with Apple Rings

    Grilled Mustard Chicken with Apple Rings is an easy fall dinner for apple lovers. If you're lucky enough to have access to an apple tree picking them can be a fun job for kids and grilling apples is a little change from the ordinary. Gluten free cooks need a good list of easy recipes for every season. This is on my list for fall.

    Some of my fall favourites to serve with this dinner are Salad with Beets and Goat Cheese Salad or a fancy Harvest Jewelled Salad. If you love the apple theme then Stuffed Baked Apples or a fall version of Fruit Crisp are perfect for dessert. Enjoy the final days of summer cooking and eating outside.

    • Grilled Mustard Chicken with Apple Rings

    Ingredients

    Keep small juice boxes in the cupboard for cooking and you're ready to make this recipe. To keep your pantry ingredients moving I also use apple juice to make my granola and these Pumpkin Ginger Muffins.

    • Dijon mustard
    • whole-grain mustard (or more Dijon)
    • lemon juice
    • white wine vinegar
    • olive oil
    • apple juice
    • shallot or onion
    • chicken
    • apples

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Substitutions

    Apples - There is a greater variety of apples to choose from at the store when they are at their peak. Read the little stickers on the apples and see if you can find some grown close to home.

    The only downside of learning more about apples is that I guarantee everyone in your house will have a different favourite variety. Mine are Granny Smith.

    Mustard - Dijon mustard is a pantry staple and can be used as a substitute for almost any specialty mustard. Every fall I buy a jar of grainy mustard to make this recipe, Beef Rouladen and a mean Croque Monsiuer. I try to use it up before spring then start over the next fall.

    Shallots - The substitute for shallots is any yellow, white or red onion. Shallots are more mild and I sometimes buy them but I always have onions.

    Get The Tools

    My dad had one of those gadgets that peels and cores a whole apple. I'm sure he never cooked anything in his life but when my son was young the two of them loved to peel apples together. Here are a few more tools for apples and grilling.

    • Gluten free cooks love reusable grilling sheets to prevent cross contact. They also prevent small pieces of food from falling through the grill yet somehow still allow the food to get the nice grill marks we all want to see.
    • Coleman road trip, stand up barbecue might be ideal for families that attend gatherings and have a few people who need to ensure their food is safe. Just wheel in your own barbecue and join the cooking team.
    • A fancy apple peeler and corer that will take up space in your cupboard but if you make a few recipes that requires a lot of peeling it might be worth it.
    • A basic, inexpensive apple corer is handy for baked apples.
    • The apple slicer, corer, divider won't make rings but you can grill wedges too. I went through two of these gadgets cutting apple slices for school lunches over the years.

    Top Tip

    With produce available year round it takes time and attention to learn when different fruits and vegetables are actually in season. When you walk your dog and see apples on the ground that's a sure sign apples are at their peak.
