A delightful recipe for chicken breasts glazed with a rich maple-whiskey sauce, perfect for a flavorful and easy meal.
Sprinkle the dried thyme evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Ensure the chicken is patted dry before seasoning for better adherence of the thyme.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whiskey, and olive oil until well combined.
Use a fork or whisk to ensure the ingredients are fully emulsified.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the glaze over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor even more.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill or broil the chicken breasts for about 6 minutes per side, basting frequently with the remaining glaze.
Keep a close eye on the chicken to prevent the glaze from burning.
Serve the chicken breasts hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
