Ingredients


1/2 red jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped


2 tablespoons honey


1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste


4 boneless, skinned chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)


Tomato Olivada:


2 tablespoons honey


1 medium-size tomato, peeled and diced (1/2-inch)


1/4 cup finely chopped sweet green pepper


1/2 cup finely chopped red onion


12 Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped


1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar


1 tablespoon olive oil


1/8 teaspoon salt


Fresh watercress sprigs, for garnish





Directions


1. Place jalapeno, the 2 tablespoons honey and the salt in small blender or food processor. Whirl to puree. (Or blend together the honey and salt with a mortar and pestle.) Rub mixture over chicken. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.





2. Prepare outdoor grill with medium-hot coals or preheat broiler. Grill chicken, skinned side down, or broil, skinned side up, until browned, about 7 minutes. Turn the chicken over. Grill or broil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.





3. Meanwhile, prepare Tomato Olivada: Mix together 2 tablespoons honey, the tomato, green pepper, red onion, olives, vinegar, olive oil and salt in a small bowl.





4. Serve the grilled chicken with the olivada. Garnish the plates with sprigs of fresh watercress.Recipe for a honey jalapeno chicken?
I don't have a recipe. But your idea sounds absolutely delicious.


Now I've got to put this on my list of recipes to hunt down or work out for myself.
Try some Rhubarb Habanero or Pinapple/Mango Habanero.
