Grilling is a perfect way to add a smoky flavor to foods without extra fat. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper |
4 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears) |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
1 (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, chopped |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
cooking spray |
4 lime slices |
4 cilantro sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, lemon pepper, and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
3. While chicken marinates, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add corn, onion, and bell peppers; saute 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly blackened. Transfer corn mixture to a bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cilantro, and black pepper.
4. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until done. Serve chicken with salsa and lime slices. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
