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

Cooking Directions

Step 1


Preheat grill or broiler to high. Lightly oil the rack.

Whisk orange juice concentrate, chiles, vinegar, molasses and mustard in a small bowl.
