1
Chicken:
2
Combine all marinade ingredients in a shallow glass dish, large enough to hold chicken pieces. Place chicken in marinade, coating both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning once or twice. (Chicken can be marinated up to four hours) Grill as desired on gas or charcoal grill. (Chicken can also be broiled in the oven)
3
Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine all ingredients & process until smooth. Chill until chicken is ready.
4
Serve grilled chicken with spoonfuls of cold sauce poured over it. I prefer to slice the grilled chicken breasts into slices and then spoon sauce over, but this is a matter of preference and doesn't affect taste. Garnish with sprigs of cilantro.
