This maple syrup chicken recipe was inspired by my brother-in-law to be who along with his brother runs a maple syrup operation. As all my recipes this takes no time to prepare and little to no skill. My maple syrup comes from Crosbie's Maple Syrup but any real maple syrup will do. Low levels of zinc have been associated with decreased prostate health in men. Only real maple syrup contains zinc so use it or lose it!

What you need:

• 4 chicken breasts
  
• 1 C pure maple syrup
  
• 1 onion sliced
  
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
  
• 2T oil
  

What you do:

Heat up a frying pan to medium high with the oil in the pan. Brown all of the chicken and then turn heat down to low.

Add the onion separating the segments into rings. When the onion is translucent sprinkle the pepper over everything in the pan then add the maple syrup. Simmer until the maple syrup bubbles then remove from heat.

A hearty thanks to Dave, we may have the Best Ever Recipes here, but his maple syrup farm definitely has the best maple syrup ever!

This juice chicken recipe is heavenly and takes no effort to make. And only takes about 30 minutes. I serve it on top of rice.

What you need:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  
• 2 cups of any clear juice ie grape or apple
  
• 1Tbls. cooking oil
  

What you do:

Brown the chicken in a frying pan with a tablespoon of oil When the chicken is cooked put in all of the juice at once. Bring to a boil. Watch over the chicken carefully at this stage. Let all of the juice boil off. When the juice becomes thicker like syrup stir the chicken around in it.

You can serve this to the pickiest kid. I have-and they will ask for more.

Some people call these Chicken Wraps Fajitas, but I'm lazy. I call them chicken wraps, or when I'm really lazy, just wraps. Either way, this is the lazy man's answer to a healthy hearty meal. I stand by my Lazy Johnny's World Famous Chicken Wraps!


What you need:

• Chicken breast (one piece per serving)
  
• Green/Red/Yellow/Orange peppers (whatever you want 1/2 per serving)
  
• Salsa
  
• Low fat sour creme
  
• Jalepeno peppers (how many depends on who you're serving)
  
• Wraps, I prefer the large ones...'cause I like to eat!
  

What you do:

1. Start the BBQ and get it warm
2. Cut up the peppers and put them in some tin foil
3. Put the peppers on the BBQ (top rack) and also put the chicken on
4. Turn the chicken so that both sides are hit twice
5. When it's almost done, put some BBQ sauce on the chicken (your choice)
6. Cut up the Jalepenos into thin slices
7. Get ready to eat, when the chicken is done, the peppers will be too.
8. Put your stuff on the wraps and eat.

This shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes to do and they are delicious. For a bit of flavour, try putting Franks hot sauce, chipotle or your other favourite sauce on them. I'm telling you, make these once and the family will be asking "when are we having chicken wraps next?". Serve them as often as you like, they're good for you!
