SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN BREASTS W/ SPICY-COOL MINT SAUCE



Spice Rubbed Chicken Breasts W/ Spicy-Cool Mint Sauce image

What a great summer dinner! These chicken breasts are spicy and savory, and they go excellent with the cool refreshing mint sauce. Don't be fooled by the mint sauce, however, as it has a surprising bite of its own. This recipe is inspired by Bobby Flay's Spanish rubbed chicken breast recipe. I lightened it up by substituting some water for olive oil in the sauce. I served it with my refreshing spinach & chickpea salad!
