Ingredients:

1 teaspoon olive oil

¾ teaspoon fresh cilantro, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

2 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Tomatillo Sauce

¼ pound tomatillos

¼ cup homemade chicken broth

2 Tablespoons cilantro leaves

2 Tablespoons chopped green onions

1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

¼ teaspoon M’lis Sweet

½ teaspoon garlic, chopped

½ jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped

Salt to taste

Cooking spray

Directions:

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag.

Place chicken breasts between two pieces of saran wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy sauté pan until chicken is of an even thickness. Add chicken to bag; seal and let stand for 15 minutes.

Discard husks and stems from tomatillos. Combine tomatillos and broth in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cover and cook 8 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

Combine tomatillos, cilantro, and next 6 ingredients (through jalapeño) in a food processor; process until smooth.

Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt. Place on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Serve with tomatillo sauce.
