Recipe: Apple-Maple Glazed Chicken
Apple-Maple Glazed Chicken
1/3 cup apple juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced
6 bone-in skin on chicken breast halves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple juice, syrup, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme, rosemary and garlic. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt and pepper. Bake chicken in the preheated oven, uncovered for 30-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with apple juice/maple mixture.
Note: This chicken would be great in a salad.
