Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium-sized fresh tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Brush the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sun-dried fresh tomato salsa. Dice the fresh tomatoes and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and honey. If you like some heat, finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the mixture.
Stir the salsa until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or lime juice.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 3-5 minutes to retain its juices.
Plate each chicken breast and top generously with the sun-dried fresh tomato salsa. Serve immediately.
