Southwestern chicken marinade

In keeping with our theme this month of "budget gourmet," here is an easy marinade that's worth a shot. You'll likely have all the ingredients on hand, and surely this concoction is cheaper than a bottle of store-bought marinade.

Grill or bake the chicken. Pair it with a salad or other fresh veggie and a side or rice or baked potato. Easy! Cheap!

Southwestern chicken marinade
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 C. olive oil
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
3 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. cumin
½ tsp. black pepper

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients. Puncture chicken breasts, place in a re-sealable plastic bag and add marinade. Allow to soak for several hours. Grill for a few minutes on each side until cooked through, or bake at 350 degrees until chicken is no longer pink (ewee) in the middle.
