Jamaican Rum Chicken

I was really surprised by the strong flavor of this chicken. Every ingredient seems to shine through. Delicious!! The nutritional information is based on using all the sauce, but odds are you won't unless you like your chicken very saucy. Recipe was found in the Famous Brand Names Grilling and More Cookbook.

Ingredients

1/2 cup dark or spiced rum. I used Captain Morgan, but I get Sailor Jerry would be delicious too!
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast

Directions

-Combine rum, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, peppers, ginger, time and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
- Pour marinade over chicken and seal tightly, making sure to press the extra air out. Make sure the chicken is covered and refrigerate at least 4 hours up to over night. Turn bag often.
- Place chicken on an oiled grill and reserve remaining marinade.
-Place remaining marinade in a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Boil for five minutes and serve with the chicken.
