This is another recipe that I found on the epicurious iPod app. It's a really tasty combination of ingredients. The sauce is sweet and tangy, and the chicken is moist and crunchy. The parsley gives it a nice bit of freshness. It was a really satisfying weeknight meal. I served it with black beans and rice.
Panko-Crusted Chicken with Mustard-Maple Pan Sauce
The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen October 2009
2 8-ounce skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise in half
1 large egg
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse-grained mustard
1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter
Using meat mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken in resealable plastic bag to ⅓-to
½-inch thickness. Whisk egg, parsley, and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard in large bowl.
Place chicken in egg mixture; turn to coat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dip
each chicken piece in panko; turn to coat. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over
medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, whisk broth, syrup, coarse-grained mustard, and remaining 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard in glass measuring cup. Transfer chicken to plates. Add broth mixture to skillet; boil until reduced to ¾ cup, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add butter; whisk until melted. Spoon sauce alongside chicken.

In my quest to create a pear, carmelized onion, and goat cheese pizza I came across your blog. The next night I set out to make this dish for my family. Big hit! I'm adding it to my recipe box as we speak. I've since made quite a few of the other recipes you've posted. Some good, some not so good... I'll post my reviews soon.
Thanks for the blog. I enjoy it.

I'm so glad you're enjoying my blog! I post everything I cook - even if it doesn't turn out too good...but my husband and I rate everything from 1-5 stars. Everything that gets a 5 also has the tag "wow". I'd love to know what else you've tried! That pizza is one of the recipes I made up, rather than found somewhere, so I'm really glad your family enjoyed it 🙂

This is one of our favourite recipes. We serve the sauce in individual bowls for dipping.

I love that idea - it lets people take as much or as little sauce as they like. Thanks for sharing, Marion!
