Category: Dinner
Author: Aleda
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 5–6
🥓 Ingredients
- 5–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (Crispy Bacon)
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic (Garlic Marinade)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
🍴 Instructions
- Gently flatten the chicken breasts so they cook evenly, eliminating any thick spots.
- Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in the oil. Add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until no pink remains in the center (Juicy Chicken). Adjust cooking time as needed.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean to remove any leftover bits.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, mustard, and crumbled bacon. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, letting the sugar dissolve and the flavors meld.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and cook for an additional 2 minutes to coat the chicken in the sweet-savory glaze.
