CHICKEN WITH MILD RED CHILI SAUCE
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup dry white wine
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 1/2 tablespoons California chili powder
9 garlic cloves, chopped
3 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
8 large boneless chicken breast halves with skin

Oregano sprigs (optional)

Puree first 9 ingredients in blender until smooth. Using meat mallet, pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/2-inch thickness. Place chicken in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour marinade over and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Drain marinade into small saucepan. Boil 5 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or broil chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Brush some marinade over chicken. Transfer to platter. Garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired. Serve with remaining marinade.

Serves 8.
