Maple Ginger Glazed Chicken
Chicken
Cook Time: 25 minutes
I found this easy, quick recipe from one of my favorite cooking magazines, “Cook’s Country,” December/January 2008 edition. Typically I serve it with a side of rice and either a green salad or green beans.
Ingredients:
¼ Cup Maple Syrup (use real maple syrup!)
1 T Soy Sauce
1 tsp Grated Fresh Ginger
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Salt and pepper
1 T Olive Oil

If you are going to serve it with rice, start that first. I use Jasmine rice so typically I’m waiting for the rice to finish and then we are ready to eat.
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. (I always used to skip this step but then I learned that you pat it dry so it browns up better.)
Heat the Olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Reduce your heat to medium-low and add your syrup mixture. Simmer, turning your chicken once so its nicely coated, sauce is slightly thickened, and chicken is cooked through. About 4 minutes. Serve, pouring sauce over.
