Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 scallion, chopped (optional)
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and opaque throughout. Transfer to a warm platter.
- Discard oil in pan and place over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, and heat until it bubbles; stir in the marmalade and add the juice of one lemon. Boil until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.

Helpful hints
- Cindy says “My husband and I love this dish. It is easy and quick, taking only about 10 minutes to prepare.”
- Use sugar-free maple syrup to lower carbohydrates if you have diabetes. Carbohydrate is reduced to 10 grams and carbohydrate count is 1/2.
- Buy large chicken breasts if you are on a dialysis diet and need high protein. Recipe analyzed with four 5-ounce chicken breasts.
- For CKD non-dialysis on a lower protein diet, reduce the serving size to 1/2 chicken breast or weigh the portion according to your meal plan.
