Grilled Salsa Chicken •

1/3 cup fresh lime juice •

2 teaspoons minced chives •

2 teaspoons minced ginger •

2 garlic cloves, minced •

2 tablespoons olive oil •

2 teaspoons chili powder •

1 cup hot or mild salsa •

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast


In a small saucepan, mix together the lime juice, chives, ginger, and garlic. Add the olive oil and chili powder, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the salsa. Allow sauce to cool. Place the chicken in a plastic bag. Add the sauce, and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Grill the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning once and basting with extra marinade, until the chicken is cooked through.
