Ingredients

¼ cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt
1 jalapeno, sliced
1 1-1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat, tenders removed

Directions

1. Whisk lime juice, oil, vinegar, cumin and salt in a small bowl. Stir in jalapeno. 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.

2. Preheat grill to high heat. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). 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.

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.
