Ingredients
4 (4-ounce) skinned, boned chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup minced green onions
1 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeño peppers
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Preparation
Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to a 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat; cook chicken for 5 minutes on each side or until done. Keep warm.
Combine onions, jalapeños, vinegar, and cranberry sauce in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon cilantro and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
