Servings servings
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- juice of 4 limes about ½ cup
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced about 2-3 cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Salsa
- ⅔ cup honeydew melon cut into ¼" cubes
- ⅔ cup cantaloupe cut into ¼" cubes
- ⅓ cup cucumber peeled, seeded, diced
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- ½ jalapeno, large seeded and diced
- 3 tablespoons mint leaves, fresh finely chopped
- zest of 1 lime
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey, or agave
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken and place in a large zip-top bag. Whisk together the remaining chicken ingredients in a small mixing bowl and pour it over the chicken. Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, no longer than 24 hours.
- An hour before serving, combine the salsa ingredients in a small-medium mixing bowl.
- To cook the chicken, preheat a grill to medium heat. Cook over medium flame/coals for about 7 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to stand 5 minutes before serving. Top with salsa.
Notes
- When managing your time, be sure to account for the one hour needed for the salsa to sit and flavors to meld.
