My girlfriend and I made this one night when we were hungry and wanted to try making something. It turned out amazing and everyone loved it. Duplicated it for my parents a few weeks later and my dad stole the leftover for his work refrigerator! Pretty simple and easy to make as well. The spiciness is vague in the recipe because we added whatever hot sauces we could find until we got a good heat/taste ratio. Ingredients:
4 chicken breast fillets |
1 cup pineapple jam |
1 cup apricot jam |
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
hot sauce or chili pepper, for heat |
salt and pepper |
olive oil |
rosemary sprig |
Directions:
1. Mix the Pineapple and Apricot jams with the garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard and almonds in a medium sized bowl. Add hot sauces or peppers to taste for your heat preference.
2. Brush the chicken with some olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and grill/broil for 6 to 7 minutes on each side.
3. Brush each side of the now somewhat cooked chicken with the pineapple/apricot glaze and allow both sides to cook until done (another 4 to 5 minutes).
