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
- 4 pieces kiwi fruits, peeled and diced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and evenly coat with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the kiwi salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced kiwi, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and minced jalapeño if using. Gently toss to mix and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice or salt if needed.
Slice the grilled chicken breasts and transfer them to serving plates.
Top each serving of chicken with a generous spoonful of kiwi salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant combination of flavors!
