Directions
-
Combine the olive oil, juice from one lime, oregano, and black pepper in a shallow glass baking dish. Stir.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and turn to coat each side. Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight. Turn the chicken periodically to marinate chicken on both sides.
-
Combine ¼ cup water, tomatillos, and onion in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the tomatillos are tender.
-
Put the cooked onion, tomatillos, and any remaining water into a blender. Add the garlic, peppers, cilantro, salt, and remaining lime juice. Blend until all the ingredients are smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl and refrigerate until serving.
-
Grill the chicken breasts over high heat until done.
-
Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Spoon a tablespoon of low-fat sour cream over each chicken breast, then pour the sauce over the sour cream.
