Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
2 jalapeno chiles
24 scallions
3 cups blueberries (about 1 pound), picked over and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, very thinly sliced, plus whole leaves for garnish
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus whole leaves for garnish
2 pounds chicken cutlets
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil it. Grill jalapenos until slightly charred and blistered, turning frequently, about 15 minutes. Using a paper towel, pull off stems and remove skins from chiles. Roughly chop flesh and seeds; set aside. Meanwhile, grill scallions, turning often, until soft and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes; set aside.
  • Place 2 cups blueberries in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped, about five times. Transfer to a medium bowl, and add onion, jalapenos, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine.Add basil, cilantro, remaining cup blueberries, and oil; stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the cayenne. Grill chicken until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place 4 grilled scallions on each plate, and top with chicken. Serve immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of blueberry salsa. Garnish with basil and cilantro leaves.

I'm not a fan of basil, so I omitted it from the salsa. It was still delicious!

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, but I still liked this dish. The salsa is flavorful and tangy, but the blue cheese flavor is not overpowering.

This dish is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken can be grilled ahead of time and the salsa can be made in advance. Then, simply assemble the dish when you're ready to serve.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, so I used feta cheese in the salsa instead. It turned out great! The salsa was still flavorful and tangy, but without the blue cheese taste.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the salsa was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of fruit for the salsa, such as peaches or mangoes.
