The flavor balance between sweet and smokey is put on display with this easy chile marinade and simple orange sauce. But a spice grinder or mortar and pestle is essential. Serve it with Spanish Rice

How to make it
- Start by grinding up all the dry ingredients in whatever fashion you prefer. Mix with the oil. It should be a wet paste, if not, add a little more oil.
- Slather the chicken breasts with the chile paste, put in a plastic bag, and let marinate, refrigerated, for two hours.
- At the one-and-a-half hour mark, fire up that grill.
- Reduce the orange juice by one half in a small sauce pot. While that goes on, place your chicken breasts on a hot, oiled grill. Grill, flipping once, to an internal temp of just below 160 degrees F.
- Back to the sauce: add the tomato and sugar and reduce until slightly thickened.
- Adjust the seasoning and toss in the cilantro,
- Spoon the sauce over the grilled chicken breasts and have a nice day :)
