A mild maple marinade seasons the chicken, vegetables and fruit in this summery supper shared by Violet Klause of Onoway, Alberta. Ingredients:
1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed |
3/4 cup maple syrup |
4 teaspoons canola oil |
3/4 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 pounds) |
2 medium sweet red peppers, halved and seeded |
1 medium green pepper, halved and seeded |
3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise |
1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices |
2 unpeeled medium oranges, cut into 1/2-in slices |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, syrup, oil, curry and cayenne. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; add half of the marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Place the peppers, zucchini, pineapple and oranges in another resealable bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate chicken and vegetables for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Drain chicken and discard marinade. Drain vegetables and fruits, reserving marinade for basting. Grill the chicken, vegetables and fruits, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting 6-8 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear, vegetables are tender and fruits are golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.
