Brown Sugar Chicken

Juicy chicken fillets in a sticky, sweet-savory brown sugar sauce with a kick of heat.

Chicken

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 2 T flour
• 1 t EACH paprika, garlic powder, onion powder
• 1/2 t EACH ground cumin, salt, pepper, chipotle chili pepper
• 2 T butter
• 2 T olive oil

Brown Sugar Sauce

• 1/2 C brown sugar
• 1/4 C soy sauce
• 1/4 C chicken broth
• 1 T lemon juice
• 1 t Dijon mustard
• 1/2 t cornstarch
• 1/2 t EACH dried parsley, dried thyme, dried oregano
• Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half to create 4 fillets. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
2. Whisk the flour and all chicken seasonings together in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour mixture and shake off any excess.
3. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate — do not wipe out the skillet.
4. Mix the chicken broth with the cornstarch, then add it to the skillet along with all remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking.
5. Taste the sauce — add extra lemon juice if you want it less sweet.
6. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
7. Best part — Enjoy!
