Maple Glazed Chicken

Hi Everyone and Happy Wednesday!!

Today is a lazy day for me.  It’s 100 degrees out and the nights haven’t been any cooler.  It seems were finally getting our summer!  Yah!!  But with all that heat, I haven’t had the energy to exercise or cook!  Ugh!  Not complaining though!

Today’s recipe is for Maple Glazed Chicken.  This is a wonderful quick dish to make during the week and is loaded with so much flavor; it was a sure hit with the family.  I’ll tell yah, nothing beats sweet and savory!!  I really think it’s my favorite combination.  The chicken only took about 20 minutes to make, which included preparation.    I served this with a side of my microwaved sweet potatoes, which was a perfect complement to the dish!  My dinner including everything took about 20 minutes!  You can’t beat that!

I made the chicken using sugar-free maple syrup, chicken stock, apple juice and some spices.  Yum!!  It sounds like a weird combo, but maple syrup and chicken go so well together, especially when you mix in some salt, pepper and onion powder.  Oh yah!!!
