Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the blueberry basil salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, finely chopped basil leaves, diced red onion, lime juice, and honey. Stir gently to avoid crushing the blueberries.
Taste the salsa and season with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve the grilled chicken topped with the fresh blueberry basil salsa.
