Description
A delightful blend of sweet maple and savory garlic with tender chicken, enhanced by beef bacon, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish
Instructions
- Combine maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat and add the reserved marinade, stirring until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, drizzle with the thickened sauce, and sprinkle with crumbled beef bacon. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
Pairs well with roasted vegetables or a green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
