Maple-Glazed Chicken Breasts with Mustard Jus

I found this recipe at Food and Wine that I couldn’t resist. I have leftover garlic bread so I used that for my breadcrumbs. The maple-glazed chicken turned out moist, tender, and flavorful and the mustard jus was delicious! It was a quick and easy recipe to make and my entire family gobbled it up – my son especially loved it. I served this chicken with Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan and Mashed Sweet Potatoes and they paired nicely.

How to Make Maple-Glazed Chicken Breasts with Mustard Jus

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put leftover garlic bread into a food processor and pulse until they are bread crumbs. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the bread crumbs and cook over moderate heat until golden. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Wipe out the skillet.

Heat the olive oil in the skillet. Season the chicken with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste, then place it into the skillet. Cook over moderately high heat until nicely browned, 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the oven and place on a plate with a tin foil tent.

Return the skillet to the burner. Add the syrup and vinegar; bring to a boil. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until richly glazed, about 30 seconds on each side; transfer to a serving plate. Add the stock to the skillet and boil until reduced by one-third, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the mustard and minced garlic then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Top with the bread crumbs and chopped parsley and serve. Enjoy.
