A great Jamaican style dish. A spicy blend of herbs, vinegar, & a habanero pepper make this chicken dish unforgettable. Serve with rice, yum!

1 teaspoon onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 habanero pepper, sliced
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips

Combine the onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, thyme, sesame oil, garlic, allspice & habanero pepper in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Place the chicken into a large resealable bag, & pour in 3/4 of the sauce. Squeeze out excess air, & seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Preheat your oven's broiler.

Remove chicken from bag, & discard marinade. Broil chicken for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once to ensure even cooking. Heat remaining sauce in a small pan, & pour over chicken when serving.

Mojito Chicken
Yields: 4 – 6 servings

1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) chicken
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Marinade, recipe follows
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mojito Glaze, recipe follows

Remove backbone of chicken with poultry shears; flatten chicken out by pressing firmly on skin part of chicken so it will sit evenly in a pan.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Combine all the dry spices & rub chicken with spice mixture, especially under the skin.

Put into a resealable plastic bag & refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for the marinade, then add chicken to marinade & refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Remove chicken from marinade & shake off excess marinade. In a large sauté pan over medium to high heat, add 4 tablespoons of extra- virgin olive oil. When oil is hot, place chicken skin side down & sear.

When skin is golden brown flip chicken & add 1/2 cup of marinade into pan; place pan in oven & cook the chicken for 25 minutes or until chicken has internal temperature of 165 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer.

Remove the chicken from oven & brush with Mojito Glaze. Place chicken under broiler for 5 minutes. Remove from broiler, cut & serve immediately with more glaze on the side.

Marinade:

1 cup orange juice
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1/4 cup dark rum
Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.

Mojito Glaze:

1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped mint leaves
Salt & freshly ground black pepper

In medium sauce pot, place rum, chicken broth & brown sugar. Reduce by 1/3 over high heat. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together water & cornstarch. When rum mixture is reduced, add cornstarch mixture slowly to simmering liquid & whisk for 3 minutes, until 50 percent thicker. Keep in mind that you might not need all of it.

When glaze is at desired thickness, add mint leaves & transfer to small bowl. Season with salt & pepper, to taste.
