This apple cider chicken marinade makes delicious sweet and savory chicken breast. Its dominant flavor comes from apple cider and maple syrup and the sweetness is balanced by adobo sauce and Dijon mustard.

Marinade ingredients and notes:
- Rather than using straight vinegar to balance the sweetness in this marinade, I used adobo sauce. Adobo sauce is made with vinegar, so it contributes the required acidity, but it also adds a hint of smoki- and spiciness. That makes the overall flavor of the chicken much more interesting and complex.
- Please note that this recipe calls for apple cider (unfiltered apple juice), not apple cider vinegar.
