Roasted Tomatillo Chimichurri Chicken Skewers

Chicken
 1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch strips
 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
 1/4 cup lime juice
 1/2 teaspoon dry coriander
 you will also need skewers
Roasted Tomatillo Chimichurri
 8 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
 1 bunch cilantro (3/4 cup packed cilantro leaves) or use Italian parsley instead
 3 cloves garlic
 1/3-1/2 serrano or jalapeno (or both)
 juice one lime
 salt to taste
1

Combine the grapeseed oil, lime juice and coriander in a bowl. Marinate the chicken in that mixture for 10 minutes.

2

Pre heat a grill or sauté pan to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook a few minutes on each side until opaque and cooked through.

3

Roast the tomatillos 4 inches from the broiler until blotchy, blackened and soft. This will take about 5 minutes. Flip them over and roast the other side. The tomatillos will turn from a bright lime green to an olive green. Cool, then transfer them to a blender. Blend the tomatillos with the cilantro, garlic, serrano/jalapeno and lime. Season with salt to taste.

Skewer the chicken when it has cooled to the touch. Dip in the chimichurri tomatillo sauce.
