Chicken With Cocoa Rub

"Couldn't resist posting this recipe from Smart Balance -- the rub sounds so interesting with these warm spices. If you prefer to use boneless, skinless breasts, you will need to adjust the cooking time as boneless breasts take less time to cook and they may dry out."

  1. We are split on the stars 5 for flavor and 3 for dryness, split is 4 stars. <br/>The coca rub makes a very nice sweet and spice crust for the chicken. We loved the flavors and I loved the easy, only drawback was I baked the full twenty minutes and the chicken was dry. Next time might try a quicker sear and keeping the baking time down to the minimum 15 minutes. Thanks for the post.
