Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients for the marinade in a mini food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add water to thin if desired.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag combine the chicken and 3/4 of the marinade, (reserving a small amount in the fridge for brushing on the chicken while grilling). Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or as long as overnight.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6 minutes a side, or until cooked all the way through, (no longer pink in the center, and temperature reaches at least 165 degrees).
  4. Mix all the salsa ingredients together in a bowl. Stir until well combined.
  5. To serve, place about 1/4 cup of salsa over each chicken breast. Garish with additional lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
