There is nothing quite like firing up the grill when the weather turns warm. This maple rosemary chicken is a absolute favorite because the marinade hits the perfect balance of savory and sweet, keeping the meat juicy and flavorful every single time you cook it.

It is a versatile recipe that works just as well for a quick family dinner as it does for a big weekend barbecue. If you have extra marinade, feel free to use it on shrimp or vegetables to make the most of those fresh garden flavors.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

  3. 3

    Seal the bag or cover the dish, then let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours or up to overnight.

  4. 4

    Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.

  6. 6

    Cook for about six to eight minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. 7

    Remove from the heat and let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can serve this hot off the grill with a side of fresh salad, or slice it cold to place on top of a bed of mixed greens for a quick lunch.
