Steps:
- In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add garlic and onion; cook about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until onion is tender.
- Remove husks from tomatilllos; rinse tomatilllos well. Cut around stem area of each to remove core; cut tomatillos into quarters. In large food processor, place garlic and onion, tomatillos, jalapeño chile, cilantro, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover; process about 15 seconds or until almost smooth.
- Pour 1 cup tomatillo mixture into small serving bowl; cover and refrigerate to serve as salsa. To make marinade, add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cumin to remaining mixture in food processor. Cover; process 10 seconds.
- Place chicken breasts in glass baking dish. Spoon marinade over chicken; spread marinade over chicken to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 8 hours, turning chicken at least once while marinating.
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Carefully brush additional oil on grill rack. Place chicken on grill over medium heat; discard marinade. Cover grill; cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Serve each chicken breast with about 2 tablespoons salsa.

[email protected]Meh. The chicken was dry and the salsa verde was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

[email protected]This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The salsa verde was a little spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making this again.

[email protected]I've made this grilled chicken with salsa verde several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the salsa verde is the perfect complement. It's a great dish for summer cookouts or potlucks.
