Seems like a lot of Asian dishes are named "Firecracker" and I don't want to confuse you. This isn't Asian, rather, it was inspired by the name of the song that was playing when I first made the marinade.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, chopped (take out seeds if you don't like it H.O.T.)
4 (5 ounce) chicken breasts
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Fire up that grill!
  • Puree the first 5 ingredients. Place about 1/2 of this in a zipper bag with the chicken breasts and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the next 5 ingredients and season. Keep cool and covered until serving.
  • When Chicken is marinated, remove from the bag, season with salt and pepper and grill for about 6 minutes per side( you should know your grill). Use the remaining-fresh marinade to baste the chicken as it grills or as sauce when it is done. It will get nice and dark (I love the charred sugar smell from the jelly).
  • Serve with the dressed avocado and tomatoes.
