Ingredients:

2 teaspoons olive oil

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Black pepper to taste

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

½ pound tomatillos

½ cup homemade chicken stock

¼ cup cilantro leaves

¼ cup chopped green onions

2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 Tablespoon honey, agave, or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon garlic, chopped

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped

Salt to taste

Cooking spray

Directions:

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Combine the first 4 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.
