Method

In a large shallow dish place chicken, garlic, oil and juice of oranges; refrigerate until ready to cook. In a small saucepan on low heat combine apple butter, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire, pepper, garlic powder, mustard and hot sauce. Cook 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens. Lift chicken from marinade. Cook chicken on grill or in broiler about 6 minutes per side until just about done. Brush generously with sauce and cook an additional 2 minutes per side or until cooked through; top with a slice of cheese. Brush onions with sauce and grill about 3 minutes per side until they start to caramelize. When cheese is melted, remove chicken and top with onion slices.
