    This time of year, pumpkin gets all the glory. There are so many other great fall flavors, like apple and maple, that deserve their turn in the spotlight, too.

    This maple mustard glazed chicken is a sweet and savory fall dinner recipe that is so easy to make! It's made entirely in one skillet and is ready in about half in hour, which makes it a great for weeknight dinners.

    How to make maple mustard glazed chicken

    Browned chicken in a copper skillet

    Season chicken breast halves with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, turn, and continue to cook until both sides are browned.

    Remove chicken breast halves to a plate. Add broth, maple syrup, half of the thyme, and garlic to the pan. Cook 2 minutes.

    Stir in vinegar and mustard. Cook for 1 minute.

    Return chicken to the pan, and spoon sauce over the chicken. Bake for 10 minutes.

    Remove chicken from pan, and heat to thicken sauce. Sprinkle with remaining thyme just before serving.

    • Chicken breast halves: It's important that you use the thinly slices halves, rather than full chicken breasts in this recipe. Chicken breast halves are sometimes called thin-sliced chicken breast halves or something similar. Full breasts won't cook in the given time.
    • Chicken broth: I prefer to use reduced-sodium chicken broth so that I can better control the level of salt in the recipe. You can use regular broth, if you prefer.
    • Mustard: If you can't find stone-ground (or don't want to buy it), you can use a brown mustard or Dijon mustard.

      I found this recipe over a year ago, and it quickly earned itself a permanent spot on the weekly rotation! It is quick, easy and turns out perfectly every time! I swap out the thyme and use rosemary, instead - personal preference, but everything else is followed exactly. Thanks for such a winner!

      Instead of chicken broth I used beef (what I had on hand) and it was delicious!!
      Two picky eaters loved it.
