A favorite preparation for quick, easy grilling, paillard is created by pounding boneless chicken breasts very thin. This makes for a more flavorful meat and beautiful presentation as well as shorter cooking time. The simple glaze in this recipe combines peppery, aromatic cilantro and fresh lime for distinct color and flavor.

Ingredients

It's best to make the cilantro glaze just before using to keep it beautifully green; it's also delicious tossed into long-grain rice or in a baked potato.

1 medium bunch (4 ounces) fresh cilantro, stems removed
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each pounded to .25-inch thickness

Instructions

Combine the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in the jar of a blender. Blend until bright green and smooth. Set aside.

2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium over medium-high heat. Oil the grill.

3. Brush each chicken breast with the cilantro glaze and transfer to the hot grill. Cook until each side is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

4. Brush again with the glaze and serve. Serve any extra glaze with the chicken.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
