The chicken is marinated in a rich blend of maple syrup, garlic, and soy sauce, then grilled to perfection, resulting in a tender, juicy texture with a delightful caramelized glaze. Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, this dish is both satisfying and easy to prepare, making it a great addition to your culinary repertoire.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade.
4. Season the chicken with salt to taste and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
