Maple Mustard Skillet Chicken
A quick and flavorful chicken dinner made in one skillet with a sweet and tangy maple mustard sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt And pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard optional, for texture
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season & Sear Chicken:
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in chicken broth, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer Chicken in Sauce:
- Return chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for another 8–10 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
- Optional Thickening:
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and stir it into the sauce. Simmer for 1–2 more minutes.
- Garnish & Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
Notes
- Maple syrup must be pure (not pancake syrup) for best flavor.
- Can substitute with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
