Looking for a delicious recipe that is full of garlic flavor and then sweetened by orange juice and maple syrup? Look no further because this Orange Maple Garlic Chicken has all those flavors and more!

We are celebrating National Garlic week this week, so to kick things off, I am sharing this fantastic and easy peasy recipe with you.

The chicken gets crispy from being roasted in the pan, and then the garlic and onions are sauteed in the orange juice and maple syrup.

The chicken is then placed back in the pan and coated in the sauce for the ultimate chicken dinner. When I tell you that this recipe is one of the best you are going to try this year, I mean it.

How to Make Maple Orange Garlic Chicken

Start by seasoning your chicken with coriander, cumin, and salt.

Now, juice and strain 4 oranges. You should have about 3/4 cup of juice. You can use any kind of oranges you have for this recipe.

Dice up one small onion and two teaspoons of fresh rosemary. Set them aside. Now, mince up 3 cloves of garlic. Set it aside.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in with two tablespoons of light olive oil over medium to medium-high heat.

Lay the chicken breasts into the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes or until a crust forms. If the chicken seems to be sticking, do not try to flip. They should release easily.

Once you flip the chicken, place the pan in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes. Once they have cooked through, remove the pan from the oven and take the chicken, and place it on a plate.

Place the skillet back on the stove and add the onion. Cook in the chicken juices until translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, add the garlic and allow it to saute for a minute or two.

Now, add in the orange juice, chicken broth, and maple syrup. Throw in the chopped rosemary and mix well. Let the liquid simmer over medium-high heat until it is reduced and thickened. This will take about 10 minutes.

Now, put the chicken back in the pan and spoon the glaze over the top.

This Orange Maple Garlic chicken works with pretty much anything from salad to my Southern Cream Cheese Noodles to these honey butter roasted brussel sprouts or all the above.
