This chicken has the wonderful flavors of lime juice, rum, onions, garlic, and island spices - plus a little bite of hot peppers. Adjust the heat to your liking, and either grill or oven-bake the chicken - it's delicious either way. Prep time includes marinating. Cook time is approximate for marinade only, not chicken itself. Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
2 green onions, finely chopped |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced |

1/4 cup dark rum (i like myers) |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce |

1. In olive oil, saute onion, garlic, green onion, chilis, spices and herbs for about 7 minutes, until deep golden brown, stirring often.
