(See, we do eat some meat!)
Maple-Walnut Chicken Recipe
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. packed fresh thyme leaves (I used dried)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ c. walnuts
5 Tbsp. cider vinegar
3 Tbsp. maple syrup
1. Rub chicken breasts with oil, then rub with thyme, salt and pepper. Let stand.
2. Toast walnuts in skillet on medium-heat for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Transfer walnuts to dish, do not remove skillet from heat.
3. Add chicken to same skillet; cook 12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer chicken to clean plate; do not remove skillet from heat.
4. To same skillet, add vinegar and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add syrup and ½ cup water; simmer 6 to 7 minutes or until mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
5. Add chicken back into sauce, and spoon walnuts over. Once re-warmed, remove chicken and drizzle extra maple sauce over dish.

Mmm, that sounds so yummy! I might have to try this! :)
ReplyDeleteAh you should! Michael even tried it once as a chicken sandwich. I'm trying, slowly but surely, to learn my way around how to homemake!
ReplyDelete"See, we do eat some meat!" Haha..I love it! :) As a chicken-lover, I say thank you for including a menu fit for a carnivore! Let me know if you try the home made granola bars... sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHaha, love it Holly. The only problem I'm having with the granola bars is finding "wheat germ." I think I'm going to have to see if Whole Foods has it--I've checked everywhere else. Ah, I wish we lived closer!
ReplyDeleteI made this the other night for my family that were visiting. Everyone liked it! :o) I made more sauce and used some cornstarch with water mixed in to thicken it up and served it over rice. Will be making it again! Thanks!
