Lime Jalapeno Chicken

1/4 cup(s) (2 limes) lime juice
2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
1 tablespoon(s) white vinegar
1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 jalapeño, sliced
1 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat, tenders removed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions

Whisk lime juice, oil, vinegar, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in jalapeño. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over it, turning to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning once, or overnight.
Preheat grill to high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tips & Techniques). Grill the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly; thinly slice crosswise. Serve warm or chilled.


Tips & Techniques

To oil a grill: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs, and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

Make-ahead Tip: Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and/or refrigerate cooked chicken for up to 1 day. Slice just before serving.
