I find it very relaxing to spend a morning or afternoon in my kitchen trying new recipes. This recipe is one of my favorites-it won first prize in a statewide contest! The salsa is a fun and zippy addition. Ingredients:
1/3 cup fresh lime juice |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional |
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch strips |
salsa: |
2 cups diced fresh plum tomatoes |
1 cup diced green pepper |
1/2 cup diced red onion |
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lime juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper and salt if desired; add the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
2. Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Discard marinade. In a large nonstick skillet, brown chicken for about 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Serve with salsa. Yield: 4 servings.
