Ingredients

2 8- ounce skinless boneless chicken breast halves; cut crosswise in half and pounded to make them thinner

1 large egg

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 teaspoons plus 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup low-salt chicken broth

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse-grained mustard

1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter

some flour with salt and pepper in it

Preparation

Using meat mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken in resealable plastic bag to 1/3-to 1/2-inch thickness.

Whisk egg, parsley, and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard in large bowl. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Put the chicken in the egg mixture; turn to coat.

Dip each chicken piece in panko; turn to coat. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness

Meanwhile, whisk broth, syrup, and remaining 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard in glass measuring cup.

Transfer chicken to low oven to keep warm. Add broth mixture to skillet; boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add butter; whisk until melted. Spoon sauce alongside chicken.
