CHICKEN BREASTS - ORANGE MAPLE GLAZE

Category: Poultry

Makes 4 servings.

1 c. orange juice
1/2 c. dry white wine
1/2 c. maple flavored syrup
2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
salt and pepper
4 chicken breast fillets
2 T. butter
2 T. olive oil

Bring orange juice and wine to a boil in a small saucepan.
Reduce heat slightly, but keep high enough to continue a low boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in maple syrup and continue boiling for another 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until glossy and just slightly thickened. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together the rosemary, salt and pepper.
Rub mixture on both sides of chicken breasts, and set aside.
Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add chicken breasts, cover skillet and saute for about 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Pour orange-maple mixture over chicken (mixture will boil and bubble).
Reduce heat to simmer; cover and let cook for another 10 minutes, basting occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has turned into a rich, thick glaze.
