maple rosemary chicken

Sounds gourmet-ish, doesn’t it?!?

My favorite part of this meal, besides…

  • the fact that it was pure delicious-ness, and
  • the fact that the house smelled UH-mazing while it was in the oven,

…was that I was able to take video with my iPhone, upload it straight to You Tube, and then put the videos right on the site. Took just minutes!

Expect more vlogs!

Maple Rosemary Chicken with Asparagus

The fact that it was pure delicious-ness, the house smelled UH-mazing while it was in the oven - makes this the ultimate dinner!
Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time50 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lb. asparagus
  • 1 cup brown rice

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, add the maple syrup and the olive oil. Mix in the chopped rosemary.
  • In an 8x8-inch baking dish, add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Pour the maple rosemary sauce over the chicken and coat evenly.
  • Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the chicken.
  • Just after putting the chicken in the oven, prepare the asparagus. Rinse and pat dry. Snap the ends off of the asparagus and place into the skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Let marinate in the olive oil for about 30 minutes.
  • Then, saute for 4-5 minutes on high heat.
  • Prepare brown rice as directed on package. (If using plain brown rice, this can take 50 minutes! If using minute brown rice, it takes about 5 minutes!)
  • Serve Maple Rosemary Chicken with Asparagus and Brown Rice.

    We love asparagus. I think they’re my hubbies favorite veggie. Our favorite way to cook them is to roast them in the oven a 400 for a few minutes. They are absolutely delicious.

      @Megan, We enjoy baked asparagus drizzled with olive oil, sea salt, and halved grape tomatoes. Bake at 400 and watch closely. Delicious!

      @Sandy,

      Boneless…but bone-in would taste just the same!

    Love your site. I’ve tried a few recipes so far and I think this one might be in the works for tonight.

    Just curious though… Rosemary and Basil grow like crazy in my garden. Have you added herbs to your garden? $.50 is a lot when you are trying to stay under $5!

    Thanks for the great recipes… keep em coming!

    Made this for dinner last night (except did baked potato instead of rice since the oven was already heated) and it was delicious-just a hint of sweetness. Also oven roasted the asparagus, ‘since the oven was heated!

    Do you have to use real maple syrup or will the fake stuff do?

    This looks delicious! I actually have all those ingredients on hand…it’s a miracle. Since I’ve already gotten all of our meals planned until tomorrow night, I’ll probably make this Sat.

    Do you by any chance know how many calories are in the chicken?
