4 servings
A spiced rub and maple syrup create a flavourful glaze for grilled chicken. Tossed over a bed of greens, it makes a light meal. Don’t skimp on the hemp hearts! They’re rich in two essential fatty acids, which may help promote good heart health.
Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp *Montreal Steak Rub or BBQ Chicken & Rib Rub
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1–2 tbsp hemp hearts
Preparation
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together maple syrup, rub, and oil.
- Place chicken in a large bowl. Pour half the marinade on top, about 3 tbsp. Stir to coat. If you have extra time, let stand 10 min or cover and refrigerate overnight.
