GRILLED CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the chili powder, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbsp olive oil; stir well. Brush the chili mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts. Place in a shallow dish; cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Grill the chicken over hot coals (400 to 500 degrees) for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is done. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter; set aside, and keep warm.
• Brush the skin of the red bell peppers with 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill the peppers, cut side up, over medium coals (300 to 350 degrees) for 6 to 8 minutes or until charred. Cut the peppers into thin strips; set aside.
• Saute onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic in the remaining 1 1/2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet until the onion is tender. Add the reserved sweet red pepper strips; stir well. Add the cilantro and the remaining 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar; stir well. Remove from heat. Spoon the pepper mixture over the hot chicken. Enjoy!

GRILLED CHILI-LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large zipper bag. Squish to combine. Add chicken, turn to coat well. Refrigerate and marinate for about 3 hours or so.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade. Grill chicken 4-5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. This works well on an indoor or outdoor grill, but I wouldn't recommend baking it. If you absolutely can't grill it, you might get away with searing it in a skillet.
• Leftovers can be sliced and frozen to be used later in other recipes. (See above).
