Grilled Lime & Pepper Chicken

I know you all are wishing you could live at my house about right now. It's ok to admit it, I hear it all the time. We don't always have meals like this one, but we were entertaining some guests yesterday so I had to show off my skills. You know how it is... :)

Grilled Lime & Pepper Chicken

Marinade

1/2 Tbsp ground pepper
1/4 cup Lime juice (juice from about 1 large lime)
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 cup finely diced chives
1/4 cup miso or soy sauce
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

In a small bowl combine the marinade ingredients. Remove the tenders from the underside of each breast (save for another use). One at a time, place each breast, smooth side down, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Place chicken in a large zip-top bag and pour marinade into bag. Place bag in a bowl and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator about 5 minutes before grilling. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the chicken, smooth side down with the lid closed as much as possible, until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes. Turn over and grill just to sear the surface, about 1 minute. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter or individual plates.
