- Combine all marinade ingredients together in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a zipper seal bag. Add chicken breasts and allow to marinade in refrigerator for 2-4 hours. Discard marinade after that time.

- Rice: Add olive oil to a medium sauce pan with a tight fitting lid placed over medium heat and warm for one minute,.

- Toss in remaining ingredients EXCEPT WATER and saute for one minute.
- Add water, stir and cover tightly.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes. Lift lid and check to ensure rice is thoroughly cooked. If not, recover, turn off heat and let pan remain covered on warm burner for a few minutes. Fluff with fork and remove from heat when rice is tender.
- Salsa: Place diced tomato, bell pepper, hot pepper, onion, orange and cilantro in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix the zest and lime, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and cayenne, if desired.
- Pour liquids over fruit and mix well. Let stand at room temp for at least 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve salsa at room temperature.
