1 tbsp molasses
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
4 (6oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2. Reduce heat to medium low and let sauce simmer until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

3. While the syrup is reducing, spray your grill (or grill pan) with nonstick spray and preheat to medium high.

4. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place on grill. Grill until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 7-10 minutes per side, depending on the size of the chicken.
