The Cherry Salas is a fresh bonus, but feel free to just make the chicken. From blog. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
2 teaspoons lime zest |
1/4 cup agave nectar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove finely minced garlic |
cayenne pepper, to taste |
1 cup pitted cherries, quartered |
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onions |
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
juice of one lime |
salt |
Directions:
1. To Make The Marinade: Place chicken in a ziplock bag. In a bowl whisk together marinade ingredients. Pour mixture over the chicken and reseal, squeezing out excessive air. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.
2. To Make The Cherry Salsa: Mix ingredients and set aside. Serve over or along side the chicken.
3. To Finish: Preheat grill to medium high heat. Once preheated, brush grill lightly with olive oil. Place chicken (if desired lightly season) on grill and cook (with lid closed) 5-8 minutes per side until juices run clear (depending on thickness).
