Ingredients

  • 6 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 ounces frozen orange juice
  • 18 ounces orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • Citrus rum sauce
  • 1 orange
  • 2 mangoes
  • 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup rum
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 habanero pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 leaf from 2 sprigs cilantro (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Lightly pound chicken to soften.
  • In a large baking dish, combine thawed Orange Juice, melted Orange Marmalade and Salt.
  • Add chicken and enough water to just cover chicken.
  • Marinate chicken at least 2 or up to 48 hours. (I always make it at least a day ahead for more flavor.).
  • Sauce: (Can be made up a day ahead or frozen and re-heated) :
  • In a food processor, puree mangoes.
  • Add the juice of 1 orange, 1 lime, 1/4 cup rum, butter, honey, cilantro and salt.
  • Mix in processor and transfer to saucepan.
  • Add whole (not chopped) habanero into saucepan and heat on medium heat until the sauce has your preferred amount of heat.
  • Remove pepper. (If it is still not hot enough after 20 minutes, remove pepper and dice. Slowly add until it is to your taste.
  • Grill chicken and pour sauce over chicken when plating. Tastes great with my posted Coconut Rice, Recipe #312530.
