SERVINGS 6 People

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 6 green onions, sliced
  • 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 3 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, combine the first 9 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup into a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a bowl or shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
  • Drain chicken, discarding marinade. On a greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat (or broil 4 in. from the heat) until a thermometer reads 165°, 4-6 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade.

Notes

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
