3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon minced seeded habanero pepper
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime (about 2 teaspoons)

1 teaspoon canola oil

1
Combine juices and next 7 ingredients (through habanero) in a medium baking dish; whisk well. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
2
While chicken marinates, combine yogurt and next 6 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat a grill, grill pan, or nonstick saute pan over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; pat dry with paper towels. If using a grill or grill pan, brush chicken on both sides with oil. If using a nonstick pan, heat oil over high heat until oil begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden on both sides and cooked through (about 4 1/2 minutes on each side). Serve with sauce.
