How to Make Maple-Glazed Chicken

Boneless chicken breast recipes go from the fridge to the table in no time at all. This chicken is simple to make and is packed full of flavor. Starting in the skillet and moving to the oven allows the cook some time to focus on the rest of the menu while the chicken bakes.

• First, make sure to remove the tendon from your chicken breast if they haven’t already been trimmed.
• Check your kitchen for real maple syrup (no artificial maple flavoring), stone ground mustard, fresh thyme, garlic, chicken broth, and cider vinegar.
• Next, brown your seasoned chicken breasts then remove to a baking dish.
• Then make the sauce by deglazing the pan with chicken broth to get up all the flavorful brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Add the maple syrup, thyme, and garlic and boil for a few minutes. Add the vinegar and mustard and let that cook for a few more minutes before returning the chicken to the pan. Flip the chicken so that both sides are coated with sauce.
• Return the chicken to the baking dish and let the sauce cook and thicken for a few more minutes, then pour over the chicken.
• Bake as directed.
