Mustard Maple Chicken

With the addition of Maple ( or a little honey)  –  ( this was to get my Honey Mustard Chicken Loving Kids) to eat this dish – this becomes an Orange Category Meal. To make it a green category and if you can handle the taste ( I can’t) add a liquid stevia.  In all honesty – the amount of maple per serve is minimal. And its purely for taste. I only use pure maple syrup – never the artificial stuff. AND remember if you invest in this ( its pricey) keep it in the fridge after you open it or it will go furry. If you want to sub Raw Cold Pressed Honey not only will you cut the carbs – but you add a natural locally sourced product to this dish that has amazing health benefits. Honey – when not processed is natures anti-biotic and anti-inflammatory.

INGREDIENTS:
500 g Lean chicken breast ( either sliced into pieces or chunks)
300 ml Cream For Cooking
1 Tablespoon Whole Grain Mustard
1/2 Tablespoon Djion Mustard
1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup ( Must be the pure stuff to keep the carbs down)
100 ml water
1 tablespoon powdered chicken stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
METHOD:
Pan Fry your chicken in a decent  fry pan with a little cultured butter and olive oil and season to taste
Place chicken onto a plate to rest
De-glaze ( chuck water) into the hot frypan once the chicken has been removed.
Add Chicken Stock and Mustards to the Juices now in the pan let this reduce a little
Add Cream and mix well – bring to simmer and place chicken back into pan.
To lower the carb count I love to serve this with Zoodles ( or Zucchini Noodles) but my kids have it with sweet potato mash and steamed broccolini.
