INGREDIENTS:

Serve for 4.

1. 4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin removed
2. 3/4 cup chicken broth
3. juice and zest of 2 oranges

5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
6. 4 to 6 medium basil leaves, chopped, or about 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil

8. 4 medium cloves garlic, crushed and minced
9. 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
10. dash onion powder

PREPARATION:

Wash chicken breast halves; pat dry. Place the halves between sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly to flatten. Combine remaining ingredients in a food storage bag; add the chicken pieces. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Grill or broil the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

Cooking time depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts. In a saucepan, simmer the remaining marinade for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly reduced.

Serve chicken with a little of the sauce or a fruit salsa, if desired.
