Recipe 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.
