Grilled Spiced Chicken with Caribbean Citrus-Mango Sauce


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
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the ginger, cinnamon, cumin, anise, and cayenne pepper. Rub the chicken with the spice mixture, and place in the bowl. Cover, and refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes.
  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!
