"I couldn't get enough of the sweet-and-citrusy marinade flavoring this grilled chicken," says Mary Hart Easterling, Santa Clarita, California. "So I saved some to drizzle on top."

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (10 ounces each)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
4 cups hot cooked rice
Chopped green onions, orange slices and parsley sprigs, optional

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; cool. Pour 1-1/3 cups marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4-8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
2. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 12-15 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and water in a small saucepan until smooth; stir in reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Remove and discard skin from chicken. Serve chicken over rice; drizzle with sauce. Garnish with green onions, orange slices and parsley if desired.
