Rosemary Chicken with Maple-Orange Glaze

Rosemary Chicken with Maple-Orange Glaze


MAKES: serving

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 12 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)

  • 1/2 cup orange juice

  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup

  • ½ Tbsp. butter

  • 1 tsp olive oil


Directions

  1. Stir together rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture on both sides of chicken breast.

  2. Bring wine and juice to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, but keep high enough to continue a low boil, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and continue boiling, stirring frequently, until reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes.

  3. Melt butter with oil in a large, heavy skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Brown chicken, turning once, about 2 minutes per side (reduce heat if chicken is browning too quick). Add orange-maple glaze to skillet (mixture will bubble and boil). Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees, about 8 minutes. Turn chicken in pan sauce to coat, then transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Pour any meet juices accumulated on platter into pan sauce and boil over medium heat until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken
