This recipe has long been a favorite of my family. I found it many years ago in a recipe book and altered it to please our tastebuds. Every time I make it, I alter the salsa. You can add papaya, green pepper or any other healthy ingredients you prefer. —Jennifer Eilts, Lincoln, Nebraska
Ingredients:
salsa:
1/2 cup pineapple tidbits
1 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
chicken:
3 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 cup uncooked couscous
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the salsa ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lime juice, oil, lime peel, salt and pepper; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
