Chipotle-&-Orange Grilled Chicken

"On Friday he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry."
There are some meals that we sort of haggle over the ratings and this was one of them. We came to the conclusion that this is a very quick, easy and low calorie meal that tastes good. Not great but good enough to eat again especially when you think about how easy and low cal it is. We cooked this on the grill pan and served it with some quinoa and an asian salad. We had a great picture of the whole meal but we forgot to include our little insect friend so we had to take another and the salad was gone. Oh well. We also added extra glaze as a sauce once it was on our plate and cut up which added a lot of extra flavor and I highly recommend doing. 4 out of 5 stars.
