Fill-in-the-Blank Fridays: Maple Mustard Chicken
Last week Denene Millner, the founder and editor-in-chief of My Brown Baby, a parenting web site (http://mybrownbaby.blogspot.com/) laid down my next challenge: to come up with an interesting twist on chicken. I was ready for it:)Following is a recipe I adopted from Bon Appetit a long time ago--it's great and easy to make on the stovetop, but it's also wonderful on the grill. The mix of sweet maple syrup and golden brown mustard gives the chicken a wonderful marinade that keeps it nice and juicy. And the flavors are just perfect paired with autumn staples such as asparagus and sweet potatoes. Dig in! MAPLE-MUSTARD CHICKEN Serves 6 (or 4 if you have a greedy family like mine!:) Ingredients 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1/3 cup pure maple syrup 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard (like Gulden's) 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves Instructions Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; saute 30 seconds. Add chopped herbs and vinegar; cook 30 seconds. Pour into bowl; cool. Whisk in syrup and mustard. Place chicken in glass baking dish or bowl. Pour marinade over; turn to coat. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover; chill at least 1 hour or overnight. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and saute 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to platter.
