Skillet Maple Dijon Chicken Breast
This Skillet Chicken Breast recipe is a family favorite! This maple Dijon chicken recipe is made with boneless skinless chicken breast and a maple mustard glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thin sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For the maple Dijon glaze:
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard*
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add oil to large, 12-inch skillet or cast-iron pan and heat on medium-high heat.
- If you have thick chicken breasts (close to an inch thick at the widest part), either butterfly the breast to create two thin cutlets, or place the chicken in a bag and pound it thin with a meat mallet.
- Pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken to hot skillet and allow to sear for 10 minutes. Do not move the chicken breasts while they are searing.
- Flip the chicken breasts over and then cover with a lid. Allow to sear/steam for another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Using a brush, brush the maple mustard glaze onto the chicken breasts, flip, and do the same on the other side.
- Lower the skillet to low heat. Allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the glaze becomes sticky. Serve warm.
Notes
- I usually use the whole grain/stone ground mustard, like Grey Poupon. But, use what you have on hand!
- You can sub honey for maple syrup if desired.
