This recipe is a bit of a departure. Â Most of us are quite familiar with syrup on our pancakes or french toast but not so much when it comes to a sauce for chicken! Â This dish has such an unusually delightful taste. Â I suggest you only use pure maple syrup as the quality will enhance the flavor.
From a Feng Shui perspective, this dish is loaded with possibility. Â The purple onions will ignite your wealth and opportunities gua while the white chicken will activate your intention in the children and creativity gua.

Maple Glazed Chicken
Prep time: Â 15 min
Cook time: Â 15 min
Total time: Â 30 min
Level: Â easy
Yield: Â 4 servings
Ingredients
2 lbs skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
Kosher salt
2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
2 apples (1 red, 1 green), cored and cut into wedges
8 medium shallots, quartered lengthwise or purple onions–small
1/4 cup fresh sage, torn
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Â Heat a large heavy skillet all over with salt. Â Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Â When the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
Turn the chicken and add the apples, shallots and sage to the skillet. Â Reduce the heat to medium high and cook until the chicken is browned on the bottom, 4-5 minutes. Â Transfer the chicken to a plate and continue to cook the apples and shallots, stirring, until golden, about 2 more minutes.
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Â Mix the chicken broth, maple syrup, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Â Add the mixture to the skillet with the apples and shallots and boil until reduced by about three-quarters, 2 to 3 minutes. Â Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
