Ingredients

Chicken

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Tamarind Glaze

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 medium orange, zested
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 dash chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or to taste
  • cooking spray
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Make the chicken: Whisk oil, herbes de Provence, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 1 to 6 hours.

Step 2
About 30 minutes prior to cooking, make the glaze: Whisk broth, orange juice, sugar, orange zest, melted butter, tamarind paste, and ginger together in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a vigorous boil, whisking often, until mixture has reduced to about 3/4 cup and glaze coats the back of a spoon, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in chile-garlic sauce, salt, and pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons glaze in a small bowl for basting.

Step 3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray.

Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 5
Grill chicken on the preheated grill, basting occasionally with reserved tamarind juice, until no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6
Transfer chicken to a serving plate and pour remaining tamarind glaze over top.

Tips

Look for tamarind paste in the specialty aisle in your grocery store.
