Dijon & Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken

Chicken dishes aren’t a frequent occurrence around here. In my mind, chicken is kind of boring and when thinking of what to make for dinner, it’s never my go-to protein. But sometimes… sometimes… (like when it’s not overcooked into a dry, crispy, pulp) chicken can be a shining star!

Dijon and Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken 

Makes 4 breasts

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 chicken breasts

4 tablespoons dijon mustard, divided

4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided

.

Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. In an oven-ready skillet, on medium high, heat olive oil.

2. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breast.

3. Place chicken breast into hot skillet. Let cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip over and let cook for another 4-5 minutes.

4. Flip so that the “smooth” side of the breast is up. Smother 1 tablespoon of dijon onto each chicken breast. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar onto each breast and gently pat it down.

5. Place skillet into the oven, about 7-10 minutes until cooked through (an internal thermometer should read 165 degrees).

6. Be careful not to over-bake the chicken, otherwise it will be dry and rubbery…

7. Enjoy!!
