Salsa Chicken

I really like this recipe. The chicken stays very moist and is so flavorful. We use a charcoal grill, but you could bake this in the oven if you aren't in the mood to start the grill.

1/3 c. lime juice
2 tsp. fresh chives, minced
2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. chili powder
1 c. salsa
1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1. In a small pan, mix together lime juice, chives, ginger and garlic. Add olive oil and chili powder and heat to boiling over medium heat. Stir in salsa. Allow sauce to cool.
2. Place chicken in plastic bag. Add the sauce and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
3. Grill on high heat for approximately 4 minutes on each side, turning once and basting with extra marinade until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
