Grilled Chili-Lime Chicken

By ctaubenheim

I added canned chilies and it didn't have any pepper flavor. Definitely use fresh. Also,need to add more cilantro. Didn't taste it at all. Great lime flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp grated lime peel
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 small jalapeno chile, seeded, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4lb)

Preparation

Step 1

To make marinade, in shallow glass or plastic dish, or resealable food storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Add chicken to marinade; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 24 hours. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 8-10 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170 degrees).
