INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare marinade:
Crush whole cloves and peppercorns in a spice grinder or coffee grinder.
(Blender might work, too). Combine with all other ingredients, except
chicken in a blender or food processor. Blend until the marinade is thick
and smooth, with no chunks in it.
Place the chicken in a non-metal container. A glass bowl is good; so are
ziplock bags. Pour the marinade over the chicken. (Instead of individual
breasts, I used skinless chicken tenders, which I buy frozen by the large
bagful at a warehouse store). Marinate, refrigerated, for 8 hours or
overnight.
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Cook the
chicken on a grill 6 minutes on each side, or until there is no trace of
pink inside. Or, cook in a lightly-oiled cast iron pan over high heat. (You
could broil it in the oven, too.)
Slice into strips before serving, if you wish. NOTES
: I found this recipe only mildly spicy. Next time I would use more
jalapeno (about 1 entire pepper). The recipe can also be made with lean
beef, and would probably be very good that way.
