Directions

1 To make marinade, in shallow glass or plastic dish, or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken.
2 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.
3 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Cover and grill chicken over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you don’t care for the taste of cilantro in the marinade, try using chopped fresh parsley instead.

To use the leftover marinade as a sauce, boil it for 1 minute to destroy any bacteria that may have been transferred to it from the chicken.

No time to make the marinade? Purchase a tequila lime marinade to use instead.

NICE flavor ! i needed to omit the jalepeno, due to company, but added a few red pepper flakes. and i did omit the cilantro, just because i'm not a fan of it, in this type of recipe, and it was STILL great ! i can say - i'm a fan of the lime in barbeque ! :D
