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 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
