Let’s bring the sugar shack straight into the kitchen (and save trudging through the mud). Poultry is a good friend to maple, and maple butter is the right vehicle for these spring celebration vibes. It slowly melts in the pan, bestowing its sweetness on bronzed chicken breasts. Season’s greetings extend to a warm salad of buttery baby potatoes and softened kale, tossed with refreshing crunch from cuke and carrots, and edged with honey-Dijon vinaigrette.

Preparation
Cook the potatoes
Medium-dice the potatoes. In a medium heatproof bowl, add the potatoes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and pierce a few holes. Microwave, 7 to 9 min. (10 to 12 min. for 4 portions), until tender. Add 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P; stir well.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. In a medium bowl, combine the kale, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Massage the kale, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Add the carrots, cucumber, potatoes, vinaigrette, remaining spices and S&P; toss well.
Glaze the chicken
To the pan of chicken, add the maple butter and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, spooning the sauce over the chicken, 1 to 2 min., until glazed.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken (slice beforehand if desired) and salad between your plates. Spoon any remaining glaze over the chicken. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
