  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F). Remove from skillet.

Notes

For Thicker Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can create a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of cold water, then whisk it into the simmering sauce.
Ingredient Tip: For the best flavor, use a quality whole-grain or smooth Dijon mustard and pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
