Cómo preparar Grilled Southwestern Chicken With Pineapple Salsa
- Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap.
- Flatten chicken to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
- Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill chicken, covered with the grill lid, for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken grills, prepare the pineapple salsa (see below).
- Prepare Cilantro-Lime Rice: Cook yellow rice according to package directions. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and the juice of 1 lime after cooking.
- **Pineapple Salsa:**
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup diced fresh pineapple, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional), and 2 tablespoons lime juice.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pineapple from the salsa mixture to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Add the cooked pineapple to the rest of the salsa ingredients and gently stir to combine.
- Serve grilled chicken over cilantro-lime rice, topped with the pineapple salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
