Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime juice
1 cup finely diced pineapple
1/3 cup finely diced, seeded english cucumber
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
4 tsp olive oil, divided
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 5 oz each, pounded to 1/2-inch thick
1 cup chopped scallions (about 6 scallions)
1/2 scotch bonnet or habanero chile pepper, seeded and finely minced (wear gloves when handling)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger, or 1/4 tsp ground
1 tsp allspice
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice

Directions:

For the salsa:
In a small bowl whisk together the honey and the lime juice. Combine the pineapple, cucumber and mint in a medium bowl, pour the dressing over and toss to combine. Set aside.
For the chicken:
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Stir in the scallions, pepper, garlic, ginger, allspice, and thyme. Cook for 30 seconds over a medium heat. Add the chicken broth and soy sauce and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice. Put the chicken back in the pan and coat well with the sauce.
Serve with the pineapple salsa.
Yield: 4 servings (1 serving is 1 chicken breast, 2 tablespoons of sauce and 1/3 cup of salsa)
