Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all the pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
If baking, arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish, pouring any excess marinade over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). If grilling, cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve alongside your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
