Lime Grilled Chicken Breast - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 -6 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1/4 cup water
    1/3 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic (about 4 large cloves)
    1 thinly sliced jalapeno (de-seed if you prefer a milder spice)
    1 teaspoon cumin powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
    Mix all ingredients except chicken in plastic bag.
    Add chicken, marinate in refrigerator 4-8 hours.
    Grill or broil approximately 6 minutes per side (or until juices run clear), turning and basting with marinade least twice.
    Slice and serve over rice or salad.
    Optional: Reserve approximately 1/4c of marinade before adding chicken, and use as salad dressing.
    Side note: We love this over a green salad with avocadoes, tomatoes, grated monterrey jack cheese, and fried corn tortilla strips.
