Description
A quick and flavorful one-bowl meal featuring tender chicken glazed in a sweet and tangy maple Dijon sauce, served over rice with roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, carrots), chopped
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
- In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the sauce.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Pour the maple Dijon sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice among four bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and maple Dijon chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
