4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (each 8 ounces)
4 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Provided by Robert McGrath

Categories     Chicken     Herb     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Corn     Bell Pepper     Spring     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Jalapeño     Bon Appétit

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salsa
1 1/4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeño chili
Chicken
1/2 cup dark beer
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeño chili
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • For Salsa:
  • Combine all ingredients in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For Chicken:
  • Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Drain chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Grill or broil chicken until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cut chicken into thin diagonal slices. Arrange chicken on plates. Top with salsa and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the grill.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
  • Make sure the grill is hot before cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grates and will also help to create those beautiful grill marks.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the chicken. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include grilled vegetables, rice, potatoes, or salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a great source of protein and can be paired with a variety of sides. The avocado corn salsa is a refreshing and flavorful addition to the chicken, and it adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
