Preparation:

Rehydrate the chiles and puree them with the garlic, lime juice and the jalapeno. Slice the limes into 1/4 inch slices and and fold the slices into the chile mixture with salt. Coat the chicken with the mixture, cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Toss on a hot grill and cook until the meat is no longer pink inside.
