Lime-Grilled Chicken With Cuban Salsa

Submitted by: TABBYKAT75
Lime-Grilled Chicken With Cuban Salsa

Introduction

If you prefer not to grill the chicken, simply broil it indoors. This has a wonderful fresh taste and appeal, and you can make it as tame or as spicy as you wish.

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    Salsa
    1 can (15 1/2 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 ripe mango, peeled and finely chopped
    3 Tbsp. chopped red onion
    3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
    2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
    1/2 jalapeño chile pepper, finely chopped (optional; if you choose to use pepper, wear plastic gloves when handling)
    Chicken
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
    2 tsp. grated lime peel
    2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
    2 tsp. canola oil
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, stir together the beans, mango, onion, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Set aside while grilling the chicken.

To make the chicken: Place the chicken in a shallow dish. Add the lime peel, lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the grill or broiler. If using the broiler, coat a broiler-pan rack with cooking spray.

Place the chicken on the grill rack or broiler pan. Cook 4" from the heat, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part, 10 to 12 minutes.

Serve the chicken with the salsa. If desired, slice the chicken into strips to serve.

    This was delicious! I knew I would love it but I was worried about my very picky "meat and potatoes" husband, especially with the salsa. Well, I was worried for nothing - he actually went back for seconds and thirds! This one's a keeper for sure! - 6/25/09

    Made this last night and it was fantastic! My family wasn't too thrilled with the black beans in the salsa but I thought it was great. Next time I will make the salsa with out the beans but the chicken was great-the flavor was amazing! - 2/11/08

    Wow!!! Excellent treat for guests...I love the taste of this chicken, and the salsa could be served alone for a bean salad dish (if there are leftovers!)... Fantastic! Will definitely do again since it's so yummy and light! I served it with 0.5cup of white basmati rice. - 1/30/08
