Here are a couple of sauces/marinades that are great with chicken.  The 
 first one is medium-hot and is adapted from a milder recipe in the 
 current issue of Bon Appetite using red chili powder rather than the dried
 chilies I use.
 GRILLED CHICKEN WITH
   ANCHO CHILI SAUCE
 1/3 cup lemon juice
 1/3 cup  dry white wine
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 1 dried red New Mexico chili
 1 dried ancho chili
 3 small garlic cloves
 1 shallot
 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
 1 tablespoon honey
 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
     fresh or dry
 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken
       breasts   
 Remove stems and seeds from chilies. Puree all ingredients except chicken
 in blender until smooth. Pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic
 to about 1/2 inch thickness.  Place chicken in glass or ceramic baking
 dish and pour chili marinade over breasts. Flip to coat both sides. 
 Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Prepare barbecue, broiler or stove-top
 grill.  Drain marinade into small sauce- pan and cook for 5 minutes over
 medium heat. Season chicken with pepper and baste with marinate.
 Grill/broil 5 minutes per side, basting with chili mixture.
