The smokey flavor of grilled chicken is paired with the tangy cranberry. Can be served an appetizer in gatherings or pair with salad or spaghetti for a savory dinner
Ingredients
1 (14 oz.) can Ocean Spray® Jellied Cranberry Sauce
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. grated lime zest
2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely chopped
Bone-in chicken breast halves, (about 2 1/4 lbs.)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
chopped fresh cilantro, (optional)
Directions
- Heat grill on high. Combine cranberry sauce, cumin, lime zest, lime juice and jalapeño pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking often, just until glaze is smooth. Set aside 1 cup of glaze to serve with chicken
- Sprinkle chicken breast halves with salt and pepper; place skin side down on the grill. Cover grill. Cook, turning occasionally until internal temp at thickest area of the breast reaches 170° on a meat thermometer and juices run clear about 20 to 30 mins
- Brush chicken with remaining glaze during the last 10 min. of cooking time
- Heat reserved glaze until hot; serve over chicken. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro
