These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Maple-Mustard Chicken Breasts

The original Cooking Light recipe called for bone-in skinless chicken thighs, but we did it with breasts for an even healthier version ~ delicious! We had the Smoky Three-Bean Bake on the side, and they paired really well together.


Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 breast and 2 tablespoons sauce)
Total: 2 Hours, 43 Minutes

Ingredients:
1/3 cup spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Cooking spray

Preparation:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients. Place half of mixture in a zip-top plastic bag; reserve remaining mixture. Add chicken to bag; seal. Chill 2 hours.
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
3. Remove chicken from bag. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 8 minutes on each side or until done.
4. Heat reserved mustard mixture in a small sauce pan over medium heat until hot. Serve with chicken.

This info is for the thigh version, but as prepared above, one serving is 6.2 WW points.
