Grilled Chicken Breasts With Spicy Cucumbers image

Light and refreshing, yet packed with flavor from herbs, jalapeños and garlic, this is an easy, after-work meal that can be endlessly adapted to suit what you've got on hand. Substitute other thinly sliced raw vegetables for the cucumbers (zucchini, carrot, radishes, celery, cabbage, fennel), and other herbs for the cilantro and parsley (dill, basil, mint). Just be sure not to overcook the flattened chicken, which can happen in an instant.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1/3 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, more to taste
3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (about 2 1/4 cups)

Steps:

  • Place a chicken breast between a layer of parchment paper or plastic wrap and use a mallet, rolling pin or the flat side of a heavy knife to pound to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Repeat with remaining breasts.
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Place in a bowl and toss with lime zest, garlic and oil. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a blender, combine cilantro, parsley, oil, jalapeños, garlic, salt and lime juice. Blend until smooth, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons water if necessary to blend. Taste and add more salt and/or lime juice if needed.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high or heat up the broiler or a grill pan. Grill or broil until chicken is lightly browned at the edges and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER PINEAPPLE SALSA



Grilled Chicken With Cucumber Pineapple Salsa image

I came across the salsa on the Foodnetwork and modified it to use with chicken instead of scallops. The salsa gives the chicken a fresh flavor while not completely overwhelming the grilled flavor of the chicken.

Provided by Charlie J.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups peeled and diced cucumbers (about one large cucumber)
2 cups dole pineapple tidbits, drained (about a 15 oz can)
6 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions (to taste)
5 teaspoons finely grated lime zest (one large or two small limes)
2 limes, juiced
2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeno peppers (okay not to seed)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste (optional)
4 large boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • In a marinating container (large tupperware) soak the chicken in a saltwater brine for 2 hours. Be sure to cover the chicken completely.
  • In a bowl, combine the cucumber, pineapple, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, lime zest, jalapeno, salt and crushed red pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your flavor. Be careful as the crushed red peppers sit it will get hotter.
  • In another bowl strain the juice from the salsa (don't worry as the salsa sits it will juice up again) and put the juice aside for now. Cover the salsa and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Drain the brine from the marinating container and add the juice from the salsa to the chicken in the marinating container. Let set for at least 2 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to 350 degrees.
  • Remove the chicken from the salsa juices and salt and pepper both sides of the chicken before grilling.
  • Grill the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes on each side. Turning the chicken ¼ turn half way through on each side to give yourself those nice diamond grill marks.
  • Remove the chicken from the grill and let chicken set for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve breasts whole or sliced with the salsa garnishing the top. Put the remaining salsa in a bowl and put it on the table as extra garnishing.
  • Enjoy! I did!

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon white wine Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
4 boneless chicken breast halves
Peach and Apple Salsa

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove chicken from marinade. Grill chicken until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plates. Serve with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use chicken thighs for a more tender result.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help it stay moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the cucumber peach salsa while the chicken is grilling: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can also make the salsa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
  • Serve the chicken with the cucumber peach salsa: This is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy grilled chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts with cucumber peach salsa is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the salsa is refreshing and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next cookout or potluck.
