STOCKPILE COOKING - FIESTA!!

Jalapeno-Lime marinated Chicken

 

The marinade adds a zesty taste and makes the chicken very tender. I think this is the perfect recipe for a summer picnic. —Coleen Martin

10 ServingsPrep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 10 min.

Ingredients

• 1 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
• 2/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 10 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Directions

In a 4-cup measuring cup, combine the first nine ingredients.

Pour 2 cups into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken.

Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.  Drain and discard marinade.

Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with the reserved marinade. Yield: 10 servings.

There are so many possibilities with this chicken once cooked.  I like to make tacos, quesadillas, or eat it as is.
