  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 11/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season gluten-free flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and transfer to a plate.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, maple syrup, chopped pecans, mustard, vinegar, tamari, and rosemary. Pour into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  4. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and cover loosely with foil. Simmer until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes).
  5. Serve hot with sauce drizzled on top.
