  Chef's tip

  Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.

  Added sugar is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet, but the small amount of maple syrup per serving here is likely fine for many people. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
