Monday, December 7th, 2009

Ingredients:

4 boneless half breasts of chicken, optional skins removed
4 Dandy® clementines, peeled and diced
1 tomato, seeded and diced or ½ cup quartered small pear or cherry tomatoes
1 green onion finely chopped
½ jalapeno chili minced, seeds removed
*2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro leaves, flat leaf parsley or basil leaves can be substituted
2 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts
1 clove garlic, minced
½ lime, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:  4 cilantro sprigs or substitution of Italian parsley or basil leaf

Directions:

  1. Grill or bake chicken breasts with or without skin in your favorite style.  Takes about 15 to 25 minutes to cook boneless breasts. 
  2. Top with salsa. For salsa combine the above ingredients in a bowl.

Note:  When working with chilies it is a good idea to wear rubber gloves so the oil from the seeds doesn’t burn your skin.

Serves: 4
