Maple Balsamic Glazed Chicken

Maple Balsamic Glazed Chicken is lightly seasoned chicken finished in an incredible Maple Balsamic Glaze. This delicious dish is super simple, easy, and quick to make. What helps to give this chicken an extra pop of flavor? Ghee, you cook the chicken in Ghee instead of oil. Tenderloins are better. You get more of the yummy glaze, and they cook faster. Double Win!

Maple Balsamic Glazed Chicken is one way to make bland chicken a flavored packed dish. It quickly transforms a boring dinner into a delicious dinner. You don't have to make all the items gourmet to make a dinner unforgettable. Just pick one item to take it up a notch and keep the other two items you make simple. I have a lot of easy veggie recipes with a pop of flavor!

How to make Maple Balsamic Glazed Chicken:

Start by tenderizing and seasoning the chicken. Heat a pan with a tablespoon of Ghee on medium heat. Season the chicken and cook it about ¾s of the way. Remove the chicken from the pan, add maple syrup and balsamic vinegar, heat it, and let it thicken. Add the chicken to the glaze, flipping it every two minutes for about 10 minutes. You can easily use any chicken cut; note that it can change the cooking times. I included times for breasts in the note section.

With weeknight dinners, they can be very dull or just the same thing on repeat. For us, repeat is meat, potatoes or noodles, broccoli, green beans, and Brussels sprouts. The seasoning combination is my go-to seasoning for chicken; it tastes great and is super simple. If it works, why complicate it?

Maple Balsamic Glazed Chicken goes great with my Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes and Blackened Broccoli 😊.
