LET’S TALK CHICKEN

Even though I used boneless chicken breasts as the protein for this thirty-minute chicken dish, you can definitely substitute with boneless thighs, or even pork. Alternatively, prior to cooking, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and use as the protein in a rice bowl.

Vegetarian or pescatarian?

If you are vegetarian or pescatarian, use this maple garlic glaze on vegetables, or even fish. Doesn’t maple garlic glazed broccoli and/or salmon, sound delectable?

LET’S TALK MAPLE SYRUP

Maple syrup is a great alternative to sugar and/or honey. However, maple syrup does contain a fair amount of sugar itself and should always be used in moderation. Having said this, not all maple syrup is created equal. This savory and sweet chicken recipe should be made using a quality maple syrup. Organic, if you can.

Look for maple syrups that do not contain a lot of processed sugar and preferably, all natural (minimally processed).

Have an aversion to maple syrup, use honey!

TIPS ON MAKING THE BEST MAPLE GARLIC GLAZED CHICKEN

The following tips will help to ensure the Maple Glazed Garlic Chicken comes out perfectly, every single time:

• score the chicken to allow the sauce to seep through the crevices
• use a cast iron pan (the chicken will sear up perfectly and the sauce will thicken nicely)
• start creating the maple garlic sauce prior to fully cooking the chicken (this will allow the sauce to thicken nicely and ensure the chicken will NOT overcook)
• as mentioned above, use a quality maple syrup
• coconut aminos can be substituted for the soy sauce
• garnish with fresh chopped parsley, or substitute with chives and/or green onions

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Serve Maple Garlic Glazed Chicken with steamed vegetables and/or steamed rice. Alternatively, the following are also great side dish pairings:

• ALMOND RICE PILAF
• BAKED POTATOES
• FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
• CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES

LET’S GET SOCIAL!

I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him!

Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!
