Prep Time

10 min

Cook Time

20 min

Number of Servings

6-8 or more depending on ages

Instructions

  1. 4 tsp chili powder (try ancho chili powder for a bit of spice)

  2. 1 tsp kosher salt

  3. 6 thick sliced chicken cutlets (no antibiotics used)

    In a small bowl, combine the chili powder and salt and sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.
  4. 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
  5. 1 cup chopped raw pecans

    In a small skillet, toast pecans over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant. Don’t let them burn! Transfer pecans to a plate and allow to cool.
  6. 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

  7. 1/2 cup Joseph’s Original Sugar-Free Syrup, Maple

  8. 1/2 cup chicken stock

    In a small skillet, over medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the maple syrup and chicken stock. Cook over medium heat until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and serve with the maple glaze. Garnish with toasted pecans. Serve warm.

Options

Try thick turkey cutlets or turkey breast in this recipe or even fish!  To skip a step, buy pecans that are already toasted.
