LEMON-DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET

Lemon-Dijon Chicken Skillet image

This tender chicken in a luscious lemon-Dijon sauce might look like it came from a nice restaurant, but it's a dish you can cook up in your own kitchen, while staying within budget (and under 400 calories!). The trick is using the cooking juices as the base of the rich-tasting sauce and upping its flavor further with a couple of impactful ingredients, like Dijon, rosemary and lemon. While we often like cooking with boneless chicken thighs for the sake of convenience, bone-in chicken ensures extra flavor in this recipe. Remember to remove the chicken from the pan, so it doesn't overcook while you finish the sauce. Keep the chicken warm, and then plate it all up beautifully. When you serve up this meal, your dinner companions will be impressed, and you can congratulate yourself on pulling off such a nice meal without any extra fuss.

APPLE DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET

Apple Dijon Chicken Skillet image

I found this while idly perusing a cookbook at my sister's house--I'm not sure which book (doh!). This is fairly unique to me, and I think the flavors just work together beautifully. It was just okay as written, but for us mixing in the rice (instead of serving separately) and the addition of 1/2 t salt really made the meal.
