Grilled chicken with fruit salsa on a bed of fresh greens - a vibrant and delicious dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons tequila or gin, if desired
  • 2 teaspoons chopped jalapeño chili
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium orange, peeled and chopped
  • 4 medium green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
  • 10 yellow or red cherry tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 4 cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens
Instructions:
  • Combine lime juice, olive oil, tequila, and chili in a shallow glass or plastic dish. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients (1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon tequila, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper) in a glass or plastic bowl, except the salad greens. Cover and chill while you grill the chicken.
  • Preheat the grill. Take the chicken out of the marinade, saving the marinade. Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat for 10 to 20 minutes, brushing with marinade 2 to 3 times, until the chicken is cooked through. Discard any leftover marinade.
  • Plate the salad greens evenly among 4 plates. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the greens. Drizzle fruit salsa over the chicken.
