JUICY GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place first 6 ingredients in a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag then add the chicken breasts to the marinade. Seal the zipper bag, getting as much air out as possible.
• Marinate for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Grill chicken breasts over medium heat until done. Discard the used marinade. While chicken is cooking, stir the glaze ingredients together in a bowl. When chicken breasts are nearly done, brush both sides with the glaze then cook for 1 more minute to set the glaze.
• Enjoy!
• Cooking times are approximate and do not include marination time :).
• I'm sure this would also work for baked chicken breasts, but I have not yet tried it.

MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Whisk syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and pepper in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.
• Coat an indoor grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Liberally baste the chicken with the reduced sauce and serve.

Where Grilling and Glazing Go Wrong Here's what usually happens when you try for a deep sear and a substantial glaze. BURNT GLAZE, BLAND MEAT: Layer on glaze from the get-go and it tends to burn. The chicken may be moist, but it lacks flavorful browning. NICE GLAZE, DRY MEAT: If you wait to apply the sauce, you'll get good browning and a substantial glaze but dry, overcooked chicken. Technique The Power of Milk Powder To make sure that our chicken breasts could be both browned and glazed in the time it took the chicken to cook, we had to accelerate browning. A surprising ingredient-milk powder-was the solution. Milk powder contains both protein and so called reducing sugar (in this case, lactose), the keys to the Maillard reaction, the chemical process that causes browning. Faster browning gave us more time to layer on the glaze.
