Maple Mustard Chicken, Sweet Potato and Apple Skillet
Description
Maple Mustard Chicken, Sweet Potato and Apple Skillet features tender chicken breast pieces pan-seared and then combined with lightly sautéed sweet potatoes and apples. The maple mustard sauce blends maple syrup’s sweetness with the tang of Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar, accented by fresh thyme leaves. Shallots add sweetness and depth to the vegetable base.
The dish is prepared in a single skillet, allowing the ingredients to meld as the sauce thickens, coating the protein and produce evenly. The sweet potatoes provide hearty texture, while the apples add a fresh contrast and slight tartness.
This recipe suits an all-in-one meal for dinner or lunch and can be garnished with additional thyme for herbal brightness.
