New-World Cranberry Molasses Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup cranberry sauce
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup instant grits
1 can cream-style corn (14-3/4 ounces)
1 cup coarsely grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the molasses, cranberry sauce, vinegar, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce and barbecue sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes; let cool slightly. Reserve 1/4 cup of sauce; set aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill or broil chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the juices run clear, basting frequently with barbecue sauce. Remove and keep warm.
To prepare grits, bring chicken stock to a boil and slowly whisk in instant grits. Add the corn and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir in cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve chicken with grits. Drizzle chicken with reserved barbecue sauce. Sprinkle with flat leaf parsley. Yield: 4 servings.
