Ingredients (4 servings)

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, skin removed
• 3 T lite soy sauce
• 3 T chicken broth
• 2 T Splenda brown sugar blend (regular Splenda OK)
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ginger, grated (jarred OK)
• 1 tsp garlic, minced (jarred OK)
• 1 tsp cinnamon or allspice
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp sweet chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• chives or minced green onion (garnish)
  

Pour oil into nonstick skillet, add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, then add curry powder, cinnamon, chili powder, white pepper, soy sauce and chicken broth. Cook for 1 minute, remove from heat and let cool. When cool add Splenda and stir.

With sharp knife, cut 5-6 shallow slices through top of chicken breasts in an attractive pattern to allow marinade to penetrate.

If marinating overnight (better flavor), place chicken breasts and marinade in large Ziploc bag and store in the fridge. Otherwise, let chicken marinate 30-60 minutes before cooking.

Heat grill on high and grill chicken until done, about 6 minutes each side. If using the oven, preheat to 350 degrees and place chicken in oven safe container using nonstick spray. Bake 45 minutes or until browned. Arrange on platter, garnish with chives and serve!

Note: Perfect for work lunches or batch cooking! Discard marinade. DO NOT brush marinade on cooked chicken (contains raw chicken juices).
