GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH LIME MARINADE

SERVES 4

This is very good as is, or for the Chicken and Vegetable Fajitas , allowing 1 breast for 2 people..

INGREDIENTS

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 large cloves garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lime

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive or other oil

Place the chicken in a shallow bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the chicken, turning the breasts to coat both sides. Let set about 30 minutes. Heat a grill to high heat. Grill the breasts until just cooked through, turning to brown both sides. (The amount of time depends on the thickness of the breasts and the heat of the grill.) Remove from grill, tent with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving. If using in the fajitas, carve into thin slices.

Note: Breasts can also be cooked in a grill pan, skillet or under a hot broiler.
