1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Sticky Thai Peanut Orange Sauce

1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter (can sub. smooth)

Steps:

1.In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside. 2.Preheat oven to 400F degrees. 3.Mix Rub Ingredients together in a small bowl and rub all over chicken. 4.Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sear 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove chicken to plate. 5.Add sauce and simmer 1 minute, scraping sides of pan to deglaze. Add chicken back to skillet, and spoon some sauce over chicken. Bake 8- 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through depending on thickness. 6.Garnish with desired toppings and serve over rice. Notes *I prefer thighs because they are oh so tender but you may substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts but make sure they are pounded THIN. Adjust baking time accordingly. **I use 3 tablespoons then sprinkle a little brown sugar on the top after baking - so good!
