Jalapeno-Honey-Lime Chicken

Healthy eating!

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 jalapeno, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Wash the chicken and place in gallon zip-top bag.  Place next 7 ingredients in blender or food processor and process until smooth.  Place in bag and marinate at least 6 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven 400 degrees or grill on medium heat.  Remove chicken and discard marinade.  Cook 20 minutes or until juices run clear.  While baking, baste with following several times:

1/3 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 jalapeno, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Yes, the baste is the same as the marinade.  You cannot baste with the marinade because it has come in contact with raw food.
