Tired of your old chicken recipes? This orange-chipotle glaze will breathe new life into your meal rotation. Simple chicken breasts are rubbed with cumin and coriander, then basted with a spicy sweet glaze made with orange marmalade, juice and chipotle chiles. A little heat mixed with the tart and sweet juice and marmalade makes a delightful balance that kids and adults will both enjoy. Ready in a short 17 minutes, this Mexican-inspired chicken is great over quinoa with some simple roasted green beans for a quick weeknight dinner or try it cut up over chopped romaine with some black beans and corn for a main-dish salad. The glaze is also tasty on salmon and pork tenderloin.
