Vietnamese Marinade For Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 jalapeno, halved lengthwise & thinly sliced (remove seeds and membrane if you don't want it too hot!)
1 shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Whisk all marinade ingrediants together in a bowl.
Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag and pour marinade over top.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 4 hours.
Heat a grill to medium-high. Chicken is easiest grilled if you brush vegetable oil liberally on the grill first so it doesn't stick.
Grill, with lid down for 7 to 7 1/2 minutes per side.
