Mahogany-Glazed Chicken

1/2 cup rice wine or medium dry sherry
1/4 cup strong-brewed black tea
1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil
1 small red bell pepper, diced
2 scallions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced


In a 2 cup glass measure, combine rice wine (or sherry), tea, juice, soy sauce and honey; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, pepper and salt. Rub spiced evenly on both sides of chicken breasts.

In a large skilled, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, reduce heat to medium and cook until golden outside and no longer pink inside, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add bell pepper, scallions and garlic, saute for 30 seconds. Increase heat to high and add reserved rice wine-tea mixture. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and return chicken and it's juice to the skillet. Simmer gently, until heated thru, about 1 minutes. Slice chicken into thin diagonal slices and fan onto plates. Spoon sauce over.
