Awesome recipe and so very easy! Thanks Paula for yet another GREAT recipe!! Updated as I have altered this for our tastes. I use split bone in chicken breasts (and brining is a MUST). I add 1/4 cup frozen raspberries and 1 pepper (jar or canned whatever I can find and freeze remaining for next time). AMAZING! I like to serve with Spanish Rice and a tossed salad.

Brining chicken breasts is brilliant. I don't know why I thought I had to have a whole turkey/chicken. The sauce for this is easy and tasty. My whole family raved about the tenderness. I'm going to try this glaze with duck.

What a great glaze. Just the right amount of spicy flavor. We loved it and will be making it again. Thanks!

Oh Paula - you have a winner here! This is so simple and tastes wonderful. I didn't have any chipotle powder, so minced 1 chipotle pepper and added about 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce. Other than that, I made this as directed. It had just the right amount of heat. Thanks Paula for a new keeper. Made for Photo Tag.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
