Grilled Chicken with
Cherry-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen (and
thawed) dark sweet cherries
1/2 cup reduced-sodium
chicken broth
1/3 cup cherry preserves
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons minced
canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 1/4 teaspoons dried
thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground
allspice
2 pounds boneless,
skinless chicken breasts
Preparation:
Stir cherries, broth,
preserves, ketchup, vinegar, chipotle peppers, thyme, and allspice in a small
deep bowl.
Transfer to a shallow
non-reactive dish large enough to hold chicken.
Add the chicken and turn
to coat well.
Cover and marinate in the
refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat grill to high.
Oil the grill rack.
Remove the chicken from
the marinade.
Transfer the marinade to a
medium skillet.
Reduce the grill heat to
medium and grill the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the
middle, 7 to 9 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, bring the
marinade to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer
and cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, 12 to 15 minutes.
Let the chicken cool
slightly; serve with the sauce.
