While we’re making plans to support our maple syrup future, let’s enjoy the syrup we have right now with a delicious recipe for Maple Glazed Chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—get that flavor in there!
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Place the chicken on the grill or skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, basting with the marinade for extra flavor.
  5. Once cooked through, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve it hot with a drizzle of extra maple syrup on top. Pair it with some roasted veggies or a fresh salad, and enjoy!

So while we savor our maple syrup today, let’s also do our part to protect our environment for the future. It’s high time we stick together for our food sources, y’all!
