Not a fan of skin or bones . . . have you tried this with boneless breasts?
danielle says
yes! yummy but adjust baking time
Christine says
Any approximation on how much to adjust the time for boneless/skinless? This sounds so heavenly and I don’t wanna dry them out. Thanks!
danielle says
Check at 20 mins and keep checking until fully cooked.

Treece says
Made this tonight with a few alterations, (my husband makes maple syrup but didn’t have enough this year to spare for this recipe). So I just spooned a little maple syrup over the chicken just prior to removing it from the frying pan. Instead, I used 1/2 cup pancake syrup and it was STILL delicious. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!
Jo says
Made this for dinner – used a whole chicken (butcher halved it for me). I didn’t brown it first but covered it (along with whole potatoes & sweet potato) until almost cooked then removed the lid to let it brown. Oh my! it was SOOOO delicious! I think using home made chicken stock helped too. Thank you xo
Michael says
This would be awesome with Chicken thighs!
Carol says
This was awesome and easy! Can’t wait to try it on ribs!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
oooh great idea!
Laura says
I made this last night and it was delicious! I used boneless chicken, and minced garlic. That was the only changes I made. The sauce is the best part. I’m tempted to double that the next time I make this. (And there will be a next time.) I served it with rice and was pouring the sauce over the top, wishing for more. It was that good. I think I will use chicken thighs next time too. I like them so much more and I’m finding myself using them more and more. This is a great dish. I highly recommend.

yum-thighs sound fabulous w this! We love them, too!
Jacqueline Levine says
This chicken is outrageously delicious! I’ve made it several times & each time is better than the time before ????
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
awesomeeee!
Cassie says
Wonder if anyone has tried this in a crock pot? I’m thinking I would use chicken thighs.
vanda says
I double the batch, a lot to feed, lol, substituted half of the syrup with honey, or agave. didn’t lose maple syrup flavor, and instead of just thyme, I only had Italian seasoning, turned out wonderful. thank you for this recipe, it is a keeper
danielle says
