Number Of Ingredients 14

1 orange, grated zest only
1 medium orange, about 1/3 cup juice
1 tsp dry mustard
"just a pinch" of cumin
2 Tbsp optional red wine vinegar
1/3 c olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 c orange juice

Steps:

  • 1. In a 9x13 dish make the marinade by combining the first 5 ingredients; zest, juice, mustard, cumin, if using, and vinegar.
  • 2. Spread out a sheet of plastic wrap about 2 feet long and place chicken breasts on it.
  • 3. Spread another sheet of plastic wrap over the chicken breasts.
  • 4. With flat side of a mallet, pound the chicken to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
  • 5. Remove plastic wrap and place chicken in marinade.
  • 6. Cover and allow to marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 7. When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat the grill.
  • 8. Then prepare the sauce.
  • 9. In a wide skillet, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the flour.
  • 10. Cook this roux over low heat for a minute or two, until it bubbles.
  • 11. Add the sugar, cinnamon, mustard and vinegar and stir until well combined.
  • 12. Whisk in the orange juice, bring the heat up to medium, and stir until thickened.
  • 13. Lower the heat and cover the pan to keep the sauce hot while you grill the chicken.
  • 14. Grill the chicken just until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • 15. When serving, place the grilled chicken on a heated platter, pour some of the sauce over it and pass the rest of the sauce.
  • 16. Serves 4.
