Maple Balsamic Chicken

Kayla Cappiello
This maple balsamic chicken is so easy! It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, and it only takes a few minutes to throw together. This balsamic marinade uses balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and seasoning. It is gluten free and dairy free!
The balsamic vinegar in this maple balsamic chicken gives the steak or chicken a delicious tangy flavor, while the mustard adds a bit of heat. The garlic powder and onion powder add depth of flavor, and the nutritional yeast adds a nutty, cheesy flavor.
