Ingredients

  • 1 – 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 c.)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings.
  • Place chicken in a plastic freezer bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • Spread chicken on a baking sheet or in a casserole dish. Spoon any remaining marinade over the chicken. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked. About halfway through the cooking time, spoon any marinade that has collected on the baking dish on top of the chicken.

Notes

If you want, reserve some of the marinade before adding to the chicken and then drizzle over the chicken when serving.
