Manhattan Glazed Chicken {Foodie Friday}

My first job out of high school was working at Red Lobster. I did all sorts of jobs there…
everything but cook and serve tables. It was a great experience and since I was so well cross-trained, I was in pretty high demand which worked out really well for me at the time. I am not a big seafood eater, so working there was really great because I wasn’t tempted to eat the food every time I was there. I don’t work there now, but we still like to eat there occasionally. They have a new Maple Glazed Chicken on their menu. It’s pretty fabulous. We have attempted to duplicate this at home a couple of times. This recipe doesn’t have maple in it, but the orange in this give it an exceptional flavor. This would be excellent served over wild rice. Next time I make it I am going to do that. It’s making me hungry just thinking about it.
