BREEZE WOOD GRILLED CHICKEN - BAHAMA BREEZE
Another recipe I found at Bahama Breeze's web site. I absolutely loved the fresh citrus flavors of this dish!! As one reviewer stated don't let long list of ingredients but you off, as this doesn't take long at all to make. I make the glaze ahead of time and make the citrus butter while the chicken is on the grill!!

Steps:
- For the Chicken:.
- Lightly coat the chicken breast with olive oil, salt and pepper on both sides. Grill over a medium heat, pre-heated char-grill with wood chips added just prior to adding the chicken or a charcoal grill with wood chips added. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, while flipping it over twice during the grilling; the chicken is done when 165-170°F on a meat thermometer or the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. When the chicken is fully cooked baste generously with the orange glaze on both sides. Allow the chicken to cook for one additional minute to caramelize the glaze. Serve immediately with warm citrus butter sauce and your favorite sides. Enjoy!
- For Orange Glaze:.
- Place all the ingredients in a kitchen blender and pulse until smooth. Place in a clean container and refrigerate until needed for grilling.
- For the Citrus Butter:.
- Add the oil in a heated small sauce pan. Add the shallots and sauté for one minute. Add the Orange juice and white wine and reduce by ¾. Reduce the heat to low and add the butter cubes one at a time while whisking the sauce to evenly incorporate the butter; do not allow the sauce to boil as it will break. Add the sugar, salt and pepper. Stir to combine then strain the sauce through fine mesh strainer. Serve hot and Enjoy!

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful spices will make all the difference.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. If you prefer a spicier dish, add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. If you want a creamier sauce, add more heavy cream or milk.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook it until it is cooked through, about 7-10 minutes per side.
- Serve the Cajun Chicken Pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
