Green-Tea-and-Orange-Smoked Chicken

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and 2 tablespoons sauce)

Ingredients

• 4  (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• Tea Sauce for All Occasions
• 3  oranges
• 1/2  cup  loose green tea
• 2  tablespoons  sugar
• 1  tablespoon  low-sodium teriyaki sauce

Preparation

Make 2 diagonal cuts 1/4-inch deep across each chicken breast half. Combine chicken and Tea Sauce for All Occasions in a zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Remove chicken from bag, reserving 2/3 cup marinade.

Carefully remove rind from the oranges using a vegetable peeler, making sure not to get any of the white pithy part of the rind. Cut the rind into 2-inch pieces. Line the bottom of a Dutch oven with foil. Add orange rind, tea, and sugar to pan. Place a vegetable steamer in pan over the rind mixture. Place chicken breast halves in steamer. Cover with foil, and top with lid. Cook over medium-high heat 25 minutes or until done. Remove from heat.

Combine reserved marinade and teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Remove chicken from steamer; discard the orange rind mixture. Serve teriyaki sauce with chicken.
