Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup club soda
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 lime, zested and juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 small chicken breasts
1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
5 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 lime, juiced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine cilantro, club soda, olive oil, honey, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Process marinade until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound using a meat mallet to about 1/2-inch thickness. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over chicken. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Toss tomatoes, strawberries, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chicken is ready to serve.
  • Grill chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink inside and juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Spoon salsa over grilled chicken.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It still turned out great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breasts on the weekend and then used them to make this dish during the week.

I added some chopped avocado to the salsa and it was delicious. It gave it a creamy texture and added some extra flavor.

I've made this recipe with both chicken breasts and thighs and both turn out great. I prefer the thighs because they're more flavorful.
