Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

1.5 pounds chicken thighs or breasts (boneless and skinless)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Maple Glaze

1/2 cup pure maple syrup (use Grade A for the best flavor)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
3 cloves garlic, minced

Cooking Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh garnish parsley for garnish

Method

Preparation

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set this glaze aside.

Cooking

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the maple glaze mixture into the skillet over the chicken.
Use a spoon to baste the chicken with the sauce continuously.
Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. It should thicken and become very sticky.
Once the sauce has reduced and the chicken is fully coated, remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in the glaze for a few hours or overnight. For crispy skin, consider broiling the chicken for a couple of minutes at the end of cooking.
