Maple Glazed Chicken And Crispy Potatoes Recipes

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN

Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and turn to coat.

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN AND CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 15 minutes. (This is a good time to start the chicken.)
• Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large skillet (not nonstick). Gently flatten the potatoes so the skin bursts but the potatoes still hold together (see Cook's Note).
• Drizzle the olive oil all over the potatoes and set the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown on both sides. Sprinkle all over with the seasoned salt and gently toss to coat.
• For the chicken: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet and make sure it gets very hot. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with the seasoned salt. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is golden but not too dark, 4 to 5 minutes. Without flipping the chicken over, bake until firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part (avoiding the bone) registers 165 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. (This is a good time to finish the potatoes.)
• Remove the skillet from the oven and flip the chicken. Brush the skin with the maple syrup. Drizzle any of the remaining maple syrup over the chicken.
• For the salad: Whisk the vinegar, garlic, mustard, maple syrup, salt and olive oil together in a medium bowl until combined; season with pepper. Set aside so the garlic can infuse the dressing, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic and lightly toss the lettuce with the dressing in the bowl.

MAPLE GLAZED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes, and set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside. Stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir in the green onions.
• To serve, place the mashed sweet potatoes onto a serving platter, top with the chicken tenders, and pour the maple sauce over the chicken.
