Tamarind Orange Glazed Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 medium orange, zested
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or to taste
  • cooking spray
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Prepare the chicken by combining oil, herbes de Provence, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and mix well to coat it evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for a period of 1 to 6 hours.
2
About half an hour before cooking, create the glaze by blending broth, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, melted butter, tamarind paste, and ginger in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently, until it has thickened to approximately 3/4 cup and coats the back of a spoon, taking around 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chile-garlic sauce, salt, and pepper. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the glaze in a small bowl for future use.
3
Heat up an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray for non-stick performance.
4
Take the chicken out of its marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
5
Grill the chicken on the preheated grill, basting it occasionally with the reserved tamarind glaze, until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the juices run clear, taking around 4 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast.
6
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and pour the remaining tamarind glaze over it.
