Peppering you with the good things in life!
It’s grill season!!! Well, almost. We dusted off this grill this past weekend and grilled up some family favorites just to welcome the upcoming grill season a little early. Here is one of our favorites. Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus 8 – 10 slices of Prosciutto …
My favorite spring-time treat has arrived in the grocery stores. Asparagus! I love it when the stalks are fresh and tender. Just make sure to choose stalks that are thick at the base. One would think that the thin stalks would be more tender but …
The search continues for an outstanding chicken dish. Something tasty and satisfying. I opened my pantry today looking for inspiration and the only thing I saw was maple syrup. Not wanting pancakes for dinner, I decided to baste chicken breasts with it and see what happened. My son commented immediately “You can make this again!” Always a good thing to hear from a picky eater!
Maple Roast Chicken with Brown Sugar Bacon
4 chicken breasts
salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper
Place the chicken breasts in an oven safe baking dish and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. If you are not using skin-on chicken breast, add a little olive oil to the dish to prevent sticking.
Roast at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
4 pieces of bacon
1/4 c brown sugar
Press the brown sugar into both side of the bacon and set aside.
1/4 c pure maple syrup (do not use with an artificial flavored syrup)
After the chicken has roasted for 1 hour, brush the maple syrup over the breasts. Lay the brown sugared bacon on top and add a dash of cayenne again (optional). Return to the oven to continue roasting until the bacon is cooked through (about 30 minutes). Remove and serve.
