Let’s start with grilled meats, and grilled chicken is one of them. This grilled chicken is sweet and savory, perfect for the event. Here are the ingredients and directions:
Ingredients:
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 minced shallot
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon
3 minced cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Fresh ground black pepper and salt, to taste
6 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
Directions:
- Get a bowl and create a marinade. The marinade is composed of the following ingredients: rosemary, lemon juice, dijon, garlic, shallot, soy sauce, two tablespoons of olive oil, and maple syrup. After the composition is made into the marinade, season it with pepper and salt to bring taste.
