Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for salsa)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tomato cucumber salsa. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and the cucumber into small cubes. Finely dice the red onion.
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
Add the fresh lime juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything well.
To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate and top it with a generous spoonful of the tomato cucumber salsa. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro leaves or a lime wedge.
