Ingredients

1.75 lbs chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
3 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Heat some olive oil in frying pan/ skillet over medium heat.
Add all the ingredients to the pan and mix. Let everything sit for 5-7minutes, Then mix again. You can see the liquid evaporating.
Let everything sit for 5-7 more minutes without stirring as the liquid continues evaporating.
Then cook another 4-5 minutes, mixing more often as you see it start to caramelize. Be careful not to leave the chicken on the pan too long because it can burn.

Notes

When cooking the chicken, don't mix too much at the beginning. But don't mix it too little at the end. At the end, when most of the liquid has evaporated, keep a close eye on the chicken as the maple can quickly turn from caramelized to burnt.
How to serve:
- Serve the chicken on top of a salad, in a rice bowl, in a quinoa bowl, with veggies, or on it's own.
How to store:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
