This is a chicken recipe that my family absolutely loves. It is chicken breast marinated in lime juice, orange juice, lemon juice, mint, and honey. It is very tender and the chicken is very moist.

ORANGE-MOLASSES GLAZED CHICKEN

Orange-Molasses Glazed Chicken image

I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account. I was blown away at how flavourful this dish was. Be careful not to actually burn it though as the burnt molasses taste will permeate the entire dish. ;) Trust me on that one! ---- Original Chef's notes: "This simple citrus glaze has a hint of sweetness, but also takes on a bit of smoky flavor from the molasses and red wine vinegar. The chicken turns a beautiful mahogany color, and is so delicious. From Everyday Food's January 2004 issue."
