Maple Glazed Chicken with Apple Brussels Sprout Slaw

First let me say sorry about missing last week's post.   I was scrambling for a recipe, then for got the camera, and overall it just wasn't all that great of a recipe.  So this week I will put up 2!  Here is the first one, stayed tuned for the second.  Maybe if mom made sprouts or slaw like this growing up, it may have saved us all some tears.
1lb of chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons of olive oil divided
3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar divided
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
8oz of brussel sprouts
1/4 dried currants or cranberries
1 medium Fuji or Gala apple
Heat a large skillet season and add half of oil to pan.  Once heated add chicken to pan and season with with salt and pepper.  Cook about 3 min/side, and remove from pan.  Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup to pan; bring to a boil.  Cook for 1 min or until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.  Return chicken to pan coating it in the glaze.
Thinly cut Brussel sprouts in half length wise.  Place remaining oil, vinegar and slat and pepper in a large bowl, and whisk thoroughly.  Add spouts currants and apple.  Toss until combined and coated.  Load a plate of greens and coat with maple glazed chicken.  That's all folks!  Enjoy!
