Chicken Breast

Maple-Foie Gras Glaze

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub it in. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Place fresh thyme on top of each breast.

  3. 3

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Maple-Foie Gras Glaze

  1. 4

    Melt Foie Gras

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the foie gras until it becomes liquid.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add maple syrup, soy sauce, white wine, and fresh lemon juice to the melted foie gras. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.

  3. 6

    Simmer the Glaze

    Let the glaze simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 7

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the baking sheet with the chicken breasts in the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 8

    Glaze the Chicken

    In the last 5 minutes of roasting, brush the maple-foie gras glaze generously over the chicken breasts.

  3. 9

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
