Honey Citrus Chicken

Honey Citrus Chicken

Diana Rattray
Grill or broil this flavorful honey citrus chicken. Chipotle Tabasco sauce gives these chicken breasts a tantalizing smoky flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breast halves
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chipotle Tabasco or 1/4 teaspoon regular Tabasco Sauce

Preparation:

Gently pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap with hand or meat mallet just enough to make the breasts even in thickness.

Combine remaining ingredients and pour into a food storage bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat well. Refrigerate, turning occasionally, for about 2 to 4 hours. Remove from the marinade and grill or broil the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through. When pierced with a fork, juices will run clear.
If desired, boil the marinade and use it to baste the chicken the last 5 or 10 minutes.
Serves 4.

"ok, the recipe sounds good, but to you marinate the chicken, or baste it? there are no instructions on how to really make this recipe"
