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.
