½ cup Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup (preferably Canadian)
1/3 cup Brown sugar
Stuffing
½ cup Green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp Butter
2 cups Dry stuffing mix
2 each Red delicious apples, unpeeled, finely diced

Mix maple syrup and brown sugar in a medium container and set ¼ cup of mixture aside. Trim all visible fat from chicken breasts. Add chicken to maple syrup mixture, cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour. When chicken is done marinating, turn gill on medium high and grill chicken until done (approximately 8-10 minutes).

Cover and simmer over low heat (approximately 20 minutes) until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with fork before serving.
