Ingredients
For the Chicken
Optional Toppings
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F for boneless chicken or 375°F for bone-in chicken. If cooking boneless chicken, spray a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with coconut oil.
-
Mix together the mustard, mayo, yogurt, vinegar, and Gentle Sweet in a bowl and set aside.
-
FOR BONELESS CHICKEN: Pound the breasts for a few seconds each to flatten them out a bit. Heat the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add all the chicken and brown for 1 minute on each side to get a little seared here and there (it does not have to cook through). Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, then pour the mustard mix over the top, followed by any optional toppings. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
-
FOR BONE-IN CHICKEN: Place the chicken pieces on the baking dish, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, then coat with the mustard sauce, using your hands to make sure each piece is coated well. Sprinkle with any optional toppings, and bake for 50 minutes (you can broil at the end for extra crispiness if desired).
Note
MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:
- For the weight-loss plan, pair this with Cauli Rice (page 263) or Troodles (page 264) and a side salad with an S-friendly dressing. To make this an FP, use the boneless, skinless breasts option and sear in just 1½ Tbsp butter rather than 2, omit the mayonnaise, and add 3 more Tbsp of Greek yogurt.
- Growing children and others needing Crossovers can enjoy the S-version with brown rice to soak up all the tasty sauce from the chicken.
