Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 garlic clove, minced 1 jalapeno chile, chopped (seeds and ribs removed for less heat, if desired) 1/4 cup raw green pumpkin seeds 1 1/2 cups packed chopped romaine lettuce (2 ounces) 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar Coarse salt and ground pepper 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)

Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes.

Add pumpkin seeds; cook, stirring often, until puffed, about 5 minutes. Add lettuce, vinegar, and 1 cup water; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until lettuce is tender, about 10 minutes.

Transfer mixture to a blender; add cilantro. Blend on high speed until sauce is very smooth, about 3 minutes. Thin sauce with 2 to 4 tablespoons more water, if needed (it should be pourable).

Meanwhile, heat grill to medium high; oil grates. Rub chicken with remaining tablespoon oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve with sauce.
