Maple Walnut Chicken

This is a recipe I got off paleoplan.com. The walnuts were amazing and was practically a dessert on the chicken!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. Combine olive oil, thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Rub chicken with mixture and let stand
2. In a large non stick skillet over medium low heat, toast walnuts for approx 6 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
3. Transfer walnuts to a dish, and turn heat up to medium under the hot skillet
4. Add chicken to skillet and cook until done and no longer pink, approx 12 minutes
5. Transfer chicken to clean plate and add vinegar to hot skillet and cook for approx 1 minute
6. Add maple syrup and water to skillet. Let simmer for 6-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in walnuts and let the remaining liquid cook out. Top chicken with sticky walnuts.
