Chicken Marinade :
2 limes, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
4 thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt
Pepper
2 limes, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
4 thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt
Pepper
Strawberry-Jalapeño Salsa:
2 cups diced strawberries
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon minced red onion
1½ tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
½ lime, juiced
Salt
2 cups diced strawberries
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon minced red onion
1½ tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
½ lime, juiced
Salt
In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the lime zest, lime
juice, olive oil, honey and cilantro with a pinch of salt. Briefly set aside.
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic
wrap. Using a rolling pin or tenderizer (or random heavy object), pound the
chicken until about ½-inch thick. This process is sort of noisy, but also
cathartic. Just go with it.
Place the pounded chicken breasts into the baking dish, and
make sure each one is well coated in marinade. Press plastic wrap on the
surface of the chicken and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. (Obviously, the
longer you can let your chicken marinate, the better.)
While your chicken is marinating, place all the ingredients
for the salsa in a medium bowl. Gently mix the ingredients with a fork (you
don’t want to smoosh your strawberries), and season with salt to taste. Cover
and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a clean, lightly oiled grill or grill pan over
medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and pat them
dry. Season both sides of each breast with kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
When the grill/grill pan is hot, add the chicken and cook
for about 3½ minutes per side until grill marks appear and chicken is just
cooked through.
Remove chicken to a plate and serve with strawberry-jalapeño
salsa
