Golden Chicken Breasts, Grilled
Brown Rice and Spinach Pilaf

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu        Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     We're not really marmalade lovers, but, I do love the flavors they add to marinades.  Orange is easy to find, but if you can get lemon or grapefruit, use one of them instead for a slightly different flavor.  They add just enough sugar to help the meat get slightly caramelized. We'll use them all summer long.

Golden Chicken Breasts, Grilled

Total time: 30 minutes
   When you are marinating any sort of meat it helps to poke a fork into it, then turn the meat several times to soak up the marinade.  The orange marmalade and sherry give the chicken sweetness, while the ginger and garlic add some heat.
