Chicken Breasts - Maple Glazed

By mzander

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces), trimmed and tenders removed (see Tip)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and pepper in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.
2. Coat an indoor grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Liberally baste the chicken with the reduced sauce and serve.
