Grilled Cumin Chicken With Fresh Tomatillo Sauce image

I found this dish in Cooking Light Magazine. They suggested you serve it with chipotle rice. Combine 1 cup long-grain rice and 2 cups fat-free less-sodium chicken broth in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions and 1/2 teaspoon minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce.
