Nova Scotia Maple Chicken
(Makes 4-6 servings)
Those Canadians sure know
their chicken. This is sweet and delicious!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless
chicken breasts
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh
lemon rind
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1 pinch pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 400 F (200
C).
2. Place chicken in a shallow
9 x 13 (3 litre) pan.
3. Mix remaining ingredients
and pour over chicken.
4. Bake in 400 F (200 C)
oven, uncovered, for about 40 minutes or until chicken is done, basting
occasionally.
Note: I only used 3 chicken
breasts and baked it in an 8x8-inch pan. I used the same amount of
sauce ingredients and it was just perfect. So if you use the full 2 1/2
pounds of chicken, I would recommend doubling everything else!
