Recipe

Grilled Chicken with Chipotle-Orange Glaze

Smoky chipotle and tangy orange makes something special out of grilled chicken cutlets. Smoky chipotle peppers make this quick, citrusy barbecue sauce special. Serve with quinoa & black beans and fruit sorbet for dessert.

Times

  • Prep Time : 10 min min
  • Ready Time : 10 min

Servings

2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (see Note)
  • 1 1/2 balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat (8 ounces)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill or broiler to high. Lightly oil the rack.
  2. Whisk orange juice concentrate, chiles, vinegar, molasses and mustard in a small bowl.
  3. Sprinkle chicken with salt. Grill or broil the chicken for 2 minutes.
  4. Turn the chicken, brush with the chipotle-orange glaze, and cook, brushing occasionally with more of the glaze, 4 minutes more.
  5. Turn the chicken again, brush with the glaze, and cook until no longer pink in the middle, 2-5 minutes more.

Tips

Note: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapenos packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they’ll keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
