Ingredients

Apple-Jalapeno Chutney

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 large apples, preferably Granny Smith or Northern Spy, peeled and diced (3 cups)
⅓ cup hot jalapeno jelly, (see Ingredient note)
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup orange juice
¼ cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Spiced Chicken Breasts

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (4-5 ounces each), trimmed

Directions

To prepare Apple-Jalapeno Chutney: Heat oil in a large nonreactive skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bay leaf; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, 9 to 10 minutes. Stir in apples and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add brown sugar, jelly, orange juice, vinegar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then simmer over medium-low heat, stirring, just until the apples are tender and liquid is reduced by one-third, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Let cool.
To prepare Spiced Chicken Breasts: Combine orange juice, oil, ginger, brown sugar, scallions, coriander, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Add the chicken; turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or for up to 6 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 7-by-11-inch or similar shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the marinade directly over them. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes more. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 170 degrees F.) Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with 1 cup chutney on the side. (Reserve remaining chutney for another use)

Ingredient Note

You can find jalapeño jelly in specialty stores and in the jams-and-jellies section or specialty-foods section of large supermarkets.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
