ORANGE-CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

2 teaspoons minced chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
3/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
cooking spray
salt and pepper
4 4-ounce chicken breast halves
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

In a small bowl, mix first 4 ingredients until thoroughly blended.  Set aside for flavors to blend.

Spray a nonstick frying pan with cooking spray.  Heat over medium-high heat.  Salt and pepper both sides of chicken, place chicken in pan, cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook, turning once, until done, approximately 7 minutes per side.

About 4 minutes before done, spoon 1 tablespoon of orange-chipotle mixture on top of each breast.  Cover and finish cooking.  Remove from heat.

Place approximately 2/3 cup brown rice on each of 4 plates.  Top with a chicken breast and the remaining orange-chipotle mixture.  YIELD:  4 servings.
