Maple Orange Chicken

I found the recipe on Taste of Homes. It looked like a quick and simple recipe so for a busy weeknight it was worth a try. It was pretty good. Nothing special, but a tasty quick meal.

Orange-Maple Glazed Chicken 

1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, syrup, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil and orange peel. Remove from the heat; set aside.

Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt and pepper. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with orange juice mixture.
