Servings: persons

2 boneless chicken breasts
2 oranges, juice of, only
1 teaspoon English mustard
6 tablespoons maple syrup
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon sunflower oil
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
For the Peppered Pecans
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 garlic clove
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces pecan halves

1
Mix orange juice, mustard, garlic, maple syrup, sunflower oil and vinegar in a bowl. Marinade chicken for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
2
For the pecans, melt the butter, and stir in tabasco, pepper flakes and garlic. Stir in the pecans. Spread onto a flat baking sheet and bake on a really low temp - approx 120C for an hour. Be careful that the pecans don't burn though.
3
After marinading, remove the chicken and pour marinade into a small pan, bring to the boil, stirring until the marinade reduces to a sticky glaze. The oil will stop the Maple syrup from burning.
4
Grill or barbecue the chicken breasts, turning and brushing with the glaze regularly until the chicken is cooked but still juicy.
5
Serve the chicken with the remaining glaze as a sauce, along with the peppered pecans and whatever else takes your fancy.
