Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each), then season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown and edges are crispy.
Step 3: Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 5 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Step 5: Reduce heat to medium-low, pour the maple mustard glaze over the chicken in the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken until it thickens and coats each piece.
Step 6: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the glaze spooned on top.
