  • Mesquite-Grilled Chicken with Citrus Sauce

    4 Chicken breasts
    1 cup oil
    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    2 tablespoons minced fresh coriander
    1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    2 scallions, chopped
    2 shallots, minced
    1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    2 lemons
    2 limes
    2 oranges
    2 cups chicken broth
    1 teaspoon cornstarch
    1 teaspoon water
    ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
    White pepper to taste

    Peel and coarsely chop lemons, limes and oranges. In a ceramic or glass bowl, combine the oil, garlic, coriander, thyme, chopped scallions, and chicken breasts. Marinate, chilled, for at least 8 hours or overnight. In a saucepan, cook the shallots and the ginger in the butter over a moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallots are softened. Add the chopped lemons, limes, and oranges with all the reserved juices and simmer the mixture for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to a syrup-like consistency. Add the broth, increase the heat to moderate and boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until reduced by one-third. Mix the cornstarch and water together. Stir in the cornstarch mixture, simmer the sauce for 30 seconds, and strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Add the Grand Marnier, white pepper, and salt to taste. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Grill the chicken on a rack set about 5 inches above the coals and mesquite, turning it once, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a platter, spoon the sauce over it. Garnish with lemon wedges.
