Chicken Thighs With Dijon Maple Syrup Recipes

INSTANT POT® MAPLE-DIJON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.
• Combine garlic salt, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl. Sprinkle over chicken thighs, skin-side up.
• Add grapeseed oil to the pressure cooker when it says 'hot.' Sear chicken thighs, skin-side down, until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Continue in batches with any remaining chicken thighs. Transfer to a plate.
• Drain any remaining oil in the pressure cooker. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the cooker to ensure brown bits are incorporated.
• Turn off the pressure cooker. Place chicken thighs back into the cooker, skin-side up, overlapping if needed.
• Mix Dijon mustard and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Pour over chicken thighs. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Add mushrooms to the pressure cooker. Whisk heavy cream and cornstarch together in a bowl; stir into remaining liquid in the pressure cooker.
• Turn on the multi-functional pressure cooker and select Saute function. Let sauce simmer, whisking often, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with chicken thighs.

MAPLE DIJON GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together Dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice vinegar.
• Put the whole package of chicken thighs into an 8 x 8 inch glass baking dish (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easy clean up).
• Salt and pepper the thighs.
• Pour maple mustard mixture over top, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.
• Put the chicken thighs in the oven, and let them bake for about 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
• Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce halfway through cooking time. Use the sauce that is in the pan for basting.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Sprinkle with rosemary if desired.

MAPLE DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Mix Dijon mustard, onion, lemon juice, maple syrup, olive oil, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and rosemary together in a bowl. Pour into the slow cooker. Ensure sauce covers the chicken.
• Cook on High until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 hours.

DIJON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over chicken thighs.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip thighs over and turn heat off. Remove skillet from heat.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter for sauce over medium heat in a saucepan. Add shallot once foam subsides and sauté until soft and just golden, about 4 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and pour in whiskey.
• Return saucepan to heat and allow flame to burn off the alcohol. Add cream, Dijon, and maple syrup and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil and cook until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken thighs. Reserve remaining sauce.
• Carefully transfer the cast iron skillet to the preheated oven. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Add thyme to the reserved sauce, and spoon over chicken thighs to serve.

MAPLE-MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse chicken and pat dry. Combine mustard, garlic, marjoram and maple syrup in a small bowl. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard mixture evenly on top of each chicken thigh, being careful to cover as much of the surface as possible to form a "crust." Arrange chicken in a glass baking dish. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until mustard mixture has formed a crust and is slightly hardened, and juices run clear when the chicken is pierced.
