Rosemary Grilled Chicken with Maple Balsamic Glaze

I was looking at my HUGE Rosemary bush and thinking about a Rosemary Chicken Breast I used to order at Bertucci’s. I thought I’d better start using the Rosemary before the seasons over (yes sadly, the Rosemary bush dies in the harsh Northeast winter).


I know you don’t need a recipe for grilling chicken breast, but wanted to marinate them for more flavor.

When you think of marinating chicken for the grille, somehow or another soy sauce is always mentioned. I looked at some on line recipes, and looked at my own ingredients for marinades, and came up with this great marinade. I like sweet in a marinade, so had to fine tune it,  but think it came out pretty good.


I got to use my Rosemary bush (yes, I mean a “bush”), and had a delicious dinner as well. It didn’t hurt that I use Bell & Evans Chicken Breast. The marinating only made this already juicy chicken breast juicier.
