Citric Acid Free Grilled Maple & Coconut Aminos Chicken Breast

Smoky, golden, and glazed with a marinade that somehow manages to be both savory and subtly sweet, this grilled chicken is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more special than the effort involved. The combination of coconut aminos and pure maple syrup creates a rich, caramel-edged glaze that clings beautifully to the chicken as it cooks — no soy sauce, no refined sugars, and crucially, no citric acid hiding in the ingredient list. That last point matters more than most people realize, since citric acid shows up as a preservative in a surprising number of marinades, sauces, and even bottled garlic. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can marinate with confidence. Fresh ginger and turmeric add a warm, aromatic depth that makes the flavor profile feel anything but plain, while the reserved glaze brushed on during grilling builds a gorgeous lacquered finish. Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps every bite juicy, and the optional parsley and lemon wedges brighten the whole plate without introducing anything problematic. It's the kind of clean, crowd-pleasing recipe you'll want to keep in regular rotation.
