Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for additional heat)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the salsa, barbecue sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix well.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. While the chicken is grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Brush the cooked marinade over the chicken for additional flavor.
7. Sprinkle the grilled chicken with chopped fresh cilantro for garnish.
8. Serve the grilled chicken with salsa barbecue sauce alongside coleslaw and grilled corn for a delicious summer meal.
