Dijon Chicken with Plum-Onion Sauce
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Halve and pit plums, leaving skin on
  2. On medium heat, add 1½ T. olive oil to skillet and add plums facedown (skin facing up); Let plums cook down until softened, but still slightly firm (approx. 10-12 minutes). Remove from heat.
  3. In separate skillet, saute sliced onion in 2 T. olive oil over medium heat until onions soften (about 4-5 minutes). Season onion with course seat salt and freshly-ground pepper (approximately, 1 ½ tsp each, or to taste), stirring onions frequently
  4. Add plums to the onion skillet, gently cooking together over medium heat; Add 2 T. each of dijon mustard and brown sugar, gently blending into the onion-plum mixture. Cook down another 5-6 minutes, or until plums begin to become a thick sauce
  5. Set plum-onion mixture aside, allowing plums to cool.
  6. Gently pull the plum skin to remove; discard
  7. Pre-heat oven to 325°F
  8. Lightly tenderize chicken breasts and top with sea salt and pepper (1/2 tsp. each per chicken breast)
  9. Brush top side of breast with Dijon mustard
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes (I use a convection oven and breasts are near-fully cooked at 20 minutes)
  11. Remove chicken from oven and top breasts with plum-onion mix; Bake another 10 minutes
