I have planted my little herb garden in pots this year outside my kitchen door and I plan on experimenting more with cooking using herbs. So last night I tried a recipe using my thyme. I was so pleased at how easy it was and how delicious it turned out.
Here is a simplified version of the recipe:

4 Chicken breasts (I used boneless, skin removed)

In a saucepan whisk together the following ingredients and on low heat let it simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring it from time to time.

one half cup of apple jelly
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger (important that it is fresh)
1 tbsp finely chopped thyme
2 tbsp low salt soy sauce
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with oil and then season with salt and pepper. I used freshly ground pepper corns as well as a grinder for sea salt.
Place your chicken on the grill and cook it on one side for about 3 minutes and then brush the glaze on the chicken. Flip and glaze, let cook until done. Careful not to overcook your chicken.
Save some of your glaze and then re-glaze just before serving. Let it stand for about 5 minutes.
I served this with a spinach salad and my two teens could not get enough of it. Loved it. I am going to try this on ribs next time. The combination of the ginger, tyme and apple jelly is wonderful.

Good luck. Hope you all like it as much as we did.
Definitely has a sweetness to it.

Mmmmm!!! Sounds really good!!! Thanks for posting the recipe -- I'm definitely going to try it
