Method

For marinade: Whisk together lime juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking well. Whisk in cilantro. Place chicken in a shallow baking dish; pour marinade over chicken. Let set for 20 minutes, turning once. Jalapeno Sauce: In a blender, or food processor, finely chop tomatoes; pour into a medium mixing bowl. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Whisk until blended well and set aside. Chicken: Heat grill to medium-high. Brush grill with olive oil. Remove chicken from dish. Grill 8-10 minutes on each side, or until done. Remove from grill. Place chicken on a platter and drizzle Jalapeno Sauce over chicken.

 

Notes: It's nice to have that little something different, which takes me only about thirty minutes to prepare.
