Equipment

  • Ziploc Bag
  • basting brush

Ingredients

  • 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups mountain dew soda
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons lime juice
  • ¾ cup maple syrup divided
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon maple seasoning

Instructions

  • In a gallon ziploc bag, add your chicken breasts, Mt. Dew, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lime juice, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
  • Zip up the bag, and toss, to allow the marinade to cover the chicken breasts.
  • Place in the fridge, and let marinade for at least 3 hours (we recommend letting it marinate overnight).
  • Right before grilling, combine the 1/2 cup maple syrup, cumin, garlic salt, pepper, and maple seasoning.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat.
  • Rub the maple mixture over the chicken breasts, and place them on the grill using tongs. You could also baste them with a basting brush if you hare having a hard time coating the chicken breasts in the glaze.
  • Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center of the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, when you cut into it.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • This recipe is amazing with chicken, but I have made it with both pork chops and steak, and they were absolutely delicious.
