Glazed Chicken Breasts with Maple Soy Glaze

Glazed Chicken Breasts

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken [00:06]

Using a sharp knife, make deep, cross-hatched scores on one side of each chicken breast to create a pattern of little squares.

Step 2: Season and Coat [00:13]

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them in flour.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken [00:17]

In a medium-high heat pan, add olive oil and butter. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear them on both sides until browned.

Step 4: Add Garlic and Aromatics [00:21]

Add the garlic cloves to the pan and cook for one minute.

Step 5: Make the Glaze [00:24]

Pour in the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and maple syrup.

Step 6: Reduce and Baste [00:27]

Reduce the sauce while continuously basting the chicken breasts. This ensures the sauce collects in the scored grooves of the meat.

Step 7: Serve [00:33]

Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and pour the remaining glaze over the top.
