Cilantro Pesto Chicken

1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame or canola oil
1 tsp. chili powder
1 lb chicken tenders or breasts
2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves
2 green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Mix the first 4 ingredients together and take out 2 Tbsp of the marinade to save later for the cilantro pesto.  Marinate the chicken for at least 20 min, up to 2 hours.  Grill the chicken.  Mix the rest of the ingredients along with the 2 tbsp reserved marinade in the food processor until somewhat smooth.  Top the chicken with the pesto.
