How to Make Apple Salsa With Chicken

1. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup diced apples (Granny Smith recommended), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently toss to combine. Cover and set aside.
2. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup white wine, 1/4 cup apple juice, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 40 minutes for maximum flavor.
4. **Preheat & Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, drain the marinade from the chicken.
5. **Grill the Chicken:** Grill the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. **Serve:** Serve the grilled chicken immediately topped with the apple salsa. Enjoy with baked potatoes and a fresh salad for a complete meal!
