Orange Honey Grilled Chicken

YAY!  I made it through last week!  It was touch and go there for a little while, but I made it.  I worked a ton of extra hours, had some emotional ups and downs, but alas... here I am, another week and I'm ready to go :) One good thing that did happen - they hired a replacement for my boss.  How do I feel about my new boss?  I don't know.  It's hard to tell until we actually start working together and that will happen today......so I'll keep you updated.  I'm hoping for only the best, but of course am still worried.  I mean, what if he's an ass??  I wonder if I can sweet talk him with some homemade goodies?  Hmmmm... sucking up... now that's a thought :)

Anyway, on with the food!!!

Simple.  I hate to keep using that word over and over again, but I can't help myself.  I love sharing recipes with you that take little to no time in the kitchen.  Even though I love to cook there are nights where the task seems incredibly daunting.  This is a meal you can make in under 30 minutes if you marinated the chicken the night before.  Add a wonderful side salad and some bread and you have the perfect light weeknight meal.

Ingredients:
1 lbs chicken - breasts, thighs - skin on, skin off - bone in, no bone - it's your choice
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:
In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the chicken.  Rinse the chicken and pat dry.  Place chicken in a shallow dish or a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it.  Seal and place in fridge over night (minimum hours to marinate = 4).

When ready to grill chicken.  Preheat grill to 375 degrees F.  Oil grill grates.  Place the chicken directly on the grates and cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through.  Remove from grill and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting into.  Enjoy!
