This was tonights dinner. It came from 6/99 issue of 
Martha Stewart Living, of all things. I usually don't buy 
her magazine but I picked it up at the supermarket last 
year as I was standing on line. This recipe, along with a 
few others, looked good and I bought it. Boy was this 
good. You could use another type of chili if you want it 
spicier. The jalapeno gave this enough heat for DH and I 
added some hot sauce at the table.

                        Sauce:
   2      cups          fresh flat-leaf parsley -- packed
   2      cups          fresh cilantro leaves -- packed
   1      cup           fresh mint leaves
   3      small cloves  garlic -- minced
   1      small         jalapeno pepper -- seeded/roughly 
chop
     1/4  cup           lemon juice -- + 2 tbsp
   1 1/2  tsp           coarse salt
     1/2  tsp           ground cumin
                        Chicken:
   1      recipe        Cilantro-Mint Sauce
   3      tbsp          vegetable oil -- + more for grill
   4                    skinless boneless chicken breasts 
-- halved/then in third
                        coarse salt and freshly ground 
pepper

For sauce:

Combine ingredients in the bowl of a food processor with 
3-4 tbsp water. Blend until well combined; the mixture 
should still have some texture.

For chicken:

In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro-mint sauce and the 
oil. Arrange the chicken in a nonreactive dish. Spread 
the green paste all over each piece of chicken.

Preheat GF Grill. When hot, season chicken with salt and 
pepper. Cook until meat is cooked through, about 4 
minutes per side. Serve.
