Maple Syrup Chicken

Maple Syrup Chicken

2 Tbsp olive oil
4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1 heaping Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (or 1 tsp minced garlic)
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp stone-ground mustard

Preheat oven to 400^F.  Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown it well on both sides in the oil.  Remove the chicken to the 9x13 pan and set aside.

Add the chicken broth, syrup, thyme and garlic to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits as you stir.  Boil for about 2 minutes.  Add vinegar and mustard and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

I served this with a Cranberry Rice Pilaf and it was very good!
