2 teaspoons grated lime peel

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 small jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped

1. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about ¼ inch thick.
