Maple Dijon Glazed Chicken

Maple Dijon Glazed Chicken from Optimal Nutrition and Health
Although boneless, skinless, chicken breast is a great source of lean protein, it lacks flavor.  This is a simple recipe you can put together on a weeknight that will give it a boost of flavor without being overpowering or sweet.  I often purchase larger chicken breasts and cut them into cutlets myself.  This dish pairs nicely with the Roasted Vegetable Salad I posted a few days ago.


Ingredients:
6 (4 oz.) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
1/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1/8 tsp. black pepper (or to taste)
2 tsp. canola oil
2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Preparation:
Sprinkle chicken breast cutlets with salt and pepper.  Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken breast cutlets, and turn over after about 3-5 minutes when golden brown.  Continue cooking on other side for about the same time or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Remove from skillet and keep warm.  Remove skillet from hot burner and add to it the maple syrup, water, and Dijon mustard.  Whisk to combine and then add the chicken back in.  Use tongs to coat each cutlet on both sides.

Servings:  6 (1 chicken breast cutlet per serving)
