    Source of Recipe


    Unknown

    List of Ingredients




    6 chicken breasts (I used boneless, skinless)
    1 tsp. salt, divided
    1/4 cup butter
    2-1/2 Tbsp. flour
    1 Tbsp. sugar
    1/4 cup cumin (I used a heaping tablespoon)
    1/8 teaspoon allspice
    2 canned chipotle chilies, chopped
    3/4 cup orange juice

    1-1/2 cups hot cooked rice
    1/3 cup cilantro, for garnish
    Orange slices, for garnish

    Recipe



    Sprinkle chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt. (I sprinkled with Cajun seasoning.) Heat butter in a skillet and brown the chicken. Remove.

    Add flour, sugar, spices, chilies, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to drippings in skillet and stir until it forms a paste. Gradually stir in orange juice. Cook this mixture, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to boil. **Next, add the chicken breasts and cover. Simmer over low heat until chicken is tender, about 30-40 minutes. Remove chicken to serving platter. Serve with hot cooked rice and sauce. Garnish with orange slices and cilantro.

    **I put the chicken breasts in a pyrex dish and poured the sauce over them. Covered with foil and baked.
