Ingredients

For the Marinade:

4 chicken breasts, skin on or off

1 Pasilla chile, chopped

1 Ancho chile, chopped

1 New Mexican chile, chopped

2 dried red chilies (hot), crushed

2 t whole cumin seeds

2-3 T canola oil

salt to taste

For the sauce:

2 c orange juice

1 tomato, small dice

3 T sugar

2 T cilantro, chiffonade

salt to taste

Directions

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 :)
