Grilled Chicken With Mango Habanero Glaze

This recipe was created for the ready set cook #8 contest. it's best to make this delicious sweet and spicy glaze ahead of time, and keep it refrigerated until needed. it will make about 1/2 cup. because it's very hot and spicy, it doesn't take much to glaze the chicken breast. if you have some left over, it can be used like pepper jelly for other uses too. (i doubled the glaze recipe to keep on hand in the fridge.) habaneros are delicious but extremely spicy. if you want to tone down the heat, use less habanero, or use a milder pepper. also, use extreme care when mincing the habanero. i use a paper towel wrapped around my fingers, to prevent my fingers from coming in contact with it. if you get it on your fingers, and touch your eye - yowsa!!
