Ingredients
For the Chicken:
  • 1 jalapeno, minced (seeds removed)
  • 2 cups cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 2 pounds)
For the Salsa:
  • 1 pound strawberries, diced
  • 1 mango, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeno, diced (seeds removed)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
For the Chicken:
  1. Place jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin and salt in a small food processor. Blend to a pesto-like consistency. Measure out ¼ cup, and reserve in the refrigerator for later.
  2. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken breasts, and toss to fully coat each chicken breast. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees F. Place chicken breasts on grill, and grill for about 6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and brush with reserved sauce.
For the Salsa:
  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Gently toss to combine. (For best flavor, allow salsa to sit for 20 minutes before serving). Enjoy immediately over the grilled chicken!
