4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
⅓ cups Lime Juice
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoons Garlic Salt
1/2 teaspoons Cumin
1 dash Salt And Pepper
4 whole Diced Tomatillos
1/4 cups Chopped Cilantro
1/4 cups Bell Pepper (Any Color You Choose)
1 whole Fresh Jalapeno (Seeded, Minced)
2 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Sea Salt

1
Combine 1/3 cup lime juice with olive oil, chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, salt and pepper to make marinade.
2
Marinate the four chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes in this mixture.
3
Combine the diced tomatillos, cilantro, bell pepper (I like yellow, but any will do), jalapeno, pine nuts, lime juice and sea salt to make a fresh salsa.
4
You can also add garlic if the mood strikes you.
5
Grill marinated chicken breasts and top with the fresh salsa.
6
This is a pretty spicy dish, but very flavorful, and the spice can be toned down by using green chilies instead of a fresh jalapeno, and reducing the amount of chili powder.
