Makes 8 servings, about 1.5 ounces each
ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 20 minutes (including 1 hour marinating time)
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 jalapeno, sliced
1-1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat, tenders removed
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.
