How to make Maple Glazed Chicken

Step 1: In half lengthwise, slice the chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. Then, season all sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Then, add the chicken breasts and sear on each side for about 4 minutes until completely cooked and the juices run clear. Set the chicken aside when done.

Step 3: Into the pan, add the rest of the olive oil along with the maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, garlic, ground ginger, and water. Stir well until the cornstarch has dissolved and all the ingredients are blended. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 4: Add the chicken back into the pan and toss well to coat.

Step 5: Take the pan off the heat and serve the Maple Glazed Chicken right away. Enjoy!

Notes:

To make four servings, weigh the chicken or use two large chicken breasts (sliced in half). The sliced chicken should be about 1 inch thick or a little less.

For this recipe, you can use apple cider vinegar with lemon juice.

You can double the sauce ingredients to make extra sauce to drizzle over vegetables, and potatoes, or to use as a salad dressing.
