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.

Ingredients

Unsweetened orange juice

¼ cup(s)

Orange marmalade

2 Tbsp

Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 tsp, chopped

Ground cumin

1½ tsp

Ground coriander

½ tsp

Sea salt

½ tsp

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1 pound(s)

Instructions

  1. Combine the orange juice, marmalade, and chipotle in a small bowl. Combine the cumin, coriander, and salt in a large bowl; add the chicken tossing to coat with the spices.
  2. Spray a nonstick ridged grill pan with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning and brushing with the glaze every 4 minutes, until browned on the outside and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Yields about 3 ounces of chicken per serving.

Notes

If you’re in a time-crunch, you can make the glaze while the chicken cooks.
