Maple-Glazed Chicken with Apples

This dish smells so amazing when it's cooking, they should can it and put it into a potpourri jar. This isn't quite core, but each serving only has 1-2 points worth of stuff that isn't.

• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 firm apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (I used sugar free)
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 4x 4oz skinless chicken breasts

Preheat broiler, and line broiler rack with foil. In a medium nonstick saucepan, mix the cider, apple, maple syrup and thyme. Boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the apple is tender and the sauce is reduced by half, about 8 min. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Place the chicken on the broiler rack and brush both sides with the maple mixture. Broil 4 inches from the heat until lightly browned, about 3 min. Turn and brush the top with the remaining maple mixture. Broil until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 min longer. Serve with the apple wedges on the side.

Yields: 4 servings, 5 points each
