Recipe Help

Chicken Calypso

Ingredients
1 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons Complete seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup pre-sliced green onions
3 tablespoons Asian sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon cilantro herb paste
1 lime (for juice; rinsed)

Steps

1. Preheat grill. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with seasoning and pepper; coat with cooking spray. Place on grill (wash hands); close lid (or cover loosely with foil). Cook 5–6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
2. Combine remaining ingredients, including juice of one-half lime (1 tablespoon), in medium bowl. Add chicken, turning to coat evenly; cover (with foil) and let stand 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until flavors have blended. Serve chicken with sauce for dipping.
