Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground anise seed
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced

2. In a small saucepan, mix the mango, orange juice, lime juice, and honey. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. When grill is hot, brush the grate with oil.
4. Grill chicken 6 to 8 minutes per side, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Serve over grilled vegetables and top with the mango sauce.  (Shown served over rice. If you're going grain-free, the vegetables are a fantastic compliment!)

The original recipe calls for corn starch and dark rum to thicken the sauce. It works fine without it! Enjoy!
