Grilled Mint Hoisin Chicken

Mint and Asian flavors mix very well.  They make a great marinade for chicken.
Marinade
palmful fresh mint leaves
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp Srirach or other chili sauce
1/4 cup olive oil

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, or thighs, pounded thin (1/4-inch)

Place mint and garlic in a small food processor and pulse to mince finely. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to blend.
Pour marinade into a ziplock bag or a bowl and add the chicken. Toss well to coat. Cover and allow to marinate for at least an hour or overnight int he refrigerator.

Heat grill to high. Grill chicken about 3-5 minutes per side.
Flip once or twice and grill until cooked through.
Remove from grill to a serving platter. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
