Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast

Directions
- In a shallow glass dish, combine the lemon juice, peppers, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon.
- Place the chicken between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
- Pound to an even thickness (about 1/3-1/2 inch) with a mallet. Place the chicken in the spice mixture and turn to coat all sides. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a lightly oiled broiler rack (reserve remaining marinade). Broil about 5 inches from the heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Place the marinade in a 1 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Place the greens in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to combine.
- Slice the chicken and serve on the greens. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
