5 -6 navel oranges |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |

4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves |

Directions:

2. Squeeze oranges to yield 3 cups of juice.
3. In a large skillet, combine juice, vinegar and molasses.

7. Place chicken breasts on the foil, season generously with salt and pepper; brush with glaze.
