From: cookingclub.com - By: Janice Cole
The signature ingredients of a mojito cocktail--mint, lime juice and
rum--give grilled chicken a Caribbean kick. To round out the island
theme, serve it with black beans, fried plantains and, of course,
mojitos.
4 Tbsp chopped fresh mint, divided
3 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp light rum OR orange juice
2 tsp grated lime peel
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1. Blend 3 tablespoons of the mint, lime juice, oil, rum and lime peel in blender until smooth. Pour over chicken in resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Heat grill. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat or coals 8 to 10 minutes or until no longer pink in center, turning once. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon mint.
