Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the maple mustard glaze over the chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken frequently.
  5. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for perfect doneness. The glaze also works beautifully with turkey cutlets or baked tofu as alternative proteins.
