Chicken with Tangy Orange-thyme Marinade

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (375mL) orange Juice
1 Tbs white wine vinegar
1 Tbs soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp honey
2 tsp chopped thyme
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground paprika
4 chicken breast fillets
1 Tbs sesame seeds
Thyme sprigs, to serve
Green salad, to serve
Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

Combine the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, honey, chopped thyme, cumin and paprika in a glass or ceramic dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to develop the flavours.

Heat a barbeque grill or char-grill on medium. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade. Spray chicken with olive oil spray. Cook for 7 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest. Thickly slice. Transfer to a serving platter.

Meanwhile, place reserved marinade in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Drizzle chicken with sauce. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and thyme sprigs. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
