Ingredients
- CHICKEN
- 2 Chicken breast fillets skinless
- 2 Limes - juice and zest
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Sprinkling seasalt
- Ground black pepper
- 1 Clove Garlic crushed and chopped very finely
- 1/2 teaspoon Chilli, fresh and finely chopped OPTIONAL
- SALSA
- 1 small tin Sweetcorn
- 16-20 Cherry Tomatoes chopped into quarters
- 1 small red Onion chopped finely
- 1/2 cucumber chopped
- Big handful chopped Coriander
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Fresh Red Chilli - chopped very finely or more if you like it spicy
- 1 Avocado - peeled - stone removed and chopped
- Squeeze lime juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- You will need a sealable plastic bag - sandwich bag will do, or a bowl with a lid
- Hammer out you chicken breasts until they are no more than 2cm thick - I use a rolling pin - then slice each breast into 3 strips
- In a small bowl mix the lime juice & zest , olive oil, sea salt & black pepper and the garlic (and chilli if you are using it)
- Pop the chicken breasts in the plastic bag or bowl followed by the lime juice mix
- Seal the bag and rub the marinade into the chicken breasts. (Or use a metal spoon if using a bowl)
- Pop in the fridge for min 1 hour max 5 hours
- In the meantime make the Salsa by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl, stir well
- When the chicken has marinated, remove the breasts from the plastic bag or bowl and pop under a hot grill. (or on the BBQ)
- Grill for 15 minutes - turn over and grill for a further 15 minutes, you need colour (do not burn them - simply turn the grill down).
- Once the chicken is ready remove from the grill (check they are cooked through NO PINK bits!!!! - VERY important)
- Then serve with the salsa and a wedge of lime (squeeze over the chicken) and enjoy! (if you want it a little 'wetter - drizzle a tad of olive oil over the chicken as well)
