Sweet with a touch of citrus and salt, the flavor of these chicken breasts is outstanding. Topped with some sage and crunchy toasted pecans, you can have a tasty dinner in around 35 minutes.

I love a good chicken dinner. I get bored of the same old, same old, and like to mix it up with different marinades, preparations, and cuisines.

This lovely dinner was born out of a “do we have any sauce? no? okay, let’s see… what DO we have in here?” Rummaging in the pantry/fridge/countertop, I found maple syrup, some soy sauce, grabbed a lemon, and some ginger and a bit of sage… and ta-da! DINNER’S READY, FAMILY! COME-AND-GET-IT!

While the chicken cooked, I make some sides to go with, and it isall done in about 35 minutes. Perfect.

Try more weeknight winners or chicken dinners.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts
• 2 Tbs vegetable oil (not olive oil)

Maple Glaze

• 3 Tbs pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 1 Tbs soy sauce
• 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 Tbs fresh sage (chopped finely)
• 1/2 cup chicken stock

Garnish

• Extra sage leaves (optional)
• Toasted pecans (optional)

Instructions

For the Glaze

• Whisk all glaze ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside

Chicken

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season both sides of chicken breasts.
• Heat the oil in a large oven-proof pan over medium-high heat (I use a cast iron skillet)
• Sear chicken for 4 minutes (leave it alone – don’t turn it before 4 mins)
• Flip the chicken, and remove pan from heat.
• Add the glaze to the pan, and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip one time halfway through. Add more chicken broth if your liquid has reduced too much. Chicken is cooked when it reaches 165 degrees.
• Remove chicken from pan, and serve with extra glaze from the pan, sage leaves, and some chopped pecans if you wish.
• Devour.
