Ingredients:

Serving

olive oil
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground allspice
4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
2 semi-ripe plantains (yellow-black skin), peeled, cut on diagonal into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices

Directions:

Brush grill rack with oil. Prepare barbecue(medium heat). Puree molasses and next 7 ingredients in blender until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon 1/4 cup sauce into pie dish. Add chicken; turn to coat. Marinate 15 minutes.
Brush plantains with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill plantains and chicken, skin side down, 8 minutes. Turn chicken and plantains over. Grill until chicken is cooked through and plantains are tender, 8 minutes for chicken and 4 minutes for plantains. Serve plantains and chicken drizzled with remaining sauce.
Ingredient tip: PLANTAINS, the starchy variety of banana called for in the grilled chicken recipe, are available at some supermarkets and at Latin markets. Black skin indicates ripeness.
