Tivoli'S Cilantro Grilled Chicken Breast - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    2 cups olive oil
    6 tablespoons lemon juice, juice from about 2 lemons
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon shallot, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 cup salsa, your favorite
Preparation
    Put chicken in a glass dish large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer.
    Combine oil, lemon juice, cilantro, salt, cumin, shallots, pepper, cayenne and garlic.
    Pour mixture over the chicken and turn pieces to coat.
    Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours, turning chicken occasionally.
    Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving marinade.
    Boil marinade and then leave at a simmer for use as a baste.
    Place chicken on oiled rack of gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill 4-6 inches from medium-hot coals.
    Cook, turning once and basting often with the heated marinade, 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is firm, opaque, and light golden brown.
    Discard remaining marinade.
    Put 2 tablespoons of salsa on each serving plate and put 1 piece of chicken on top of the salsa and serve immediately.
