Seared Chicken & Dijon Pan Sauce

This wholesome dish gets a sophisticated lift from a flavorful pan sauce made with whole grain dijon, maple syrup, and demi-glace (simply reduced chicken stock), which lends rich, complex flavor to our seared chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 3/4 lb Potatoes
  • 6 oz Green Beans
  • 1/4 cup Labneh Cheese
  • 1 1/2 Tbsps Spicy Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • 2 1/2 Tbsps Chicken Demi-Glace
  • 1 Tbsp Southern Spice Blend

Steps

1) Prepare the Ingredients

  • Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high.
  • Wash and dry the fresh produce.
  • Medium dice the potatoes.
  • Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans.
  • Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic.

2) Cook & mash the potatoes

  • Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water and cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat.
  • Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the labneh and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency.
  • Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

3) Cook the green beans

  • Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot.
  • Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the water has cooked off.
  • Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened.
  • Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Rinse and wipe out the pan.

4) Cook the chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and up to half the spice blend (you will have extra).
  • In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot.
  • Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
  • Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board.

5) Make the pan sauce & serve your dish

  • To the pan of reserved fond, add the demi-glace (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), mustard, maple syrup, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
  • Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Slice the cooked chicken crosswise.
  • Serve the sliced chicken with the mashed potatoes and cooked green beans. Top the chicken with the pan sauce. Enjoy!
