Chicken with Caribbean Salsa
Ingredients:
- 2 kiwifruit, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup chopped mango
- 1/2 cup chopped avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1- 1/4 pounds total)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 16 - ounce package frozen (yellow, green, and red) peppers and onion stir-fry vegetables, thawed and drained
- 1 fresh jalapeno chile pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips*
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges (optional)
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, combine kiwi, mango, avocado, and lime juice. Cover and set aside. Place a chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound chicken until 1/2-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken breast halves. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper.
- In a very large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning once halfway through cooking. Remove chicken from skillet; coarsely chop and keep warm. Add cumin seeds to the hot skillet. Cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add drained stir-fry vegetables, the chile pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Stir in cilantro.
- Divide pepper mixture among four serving plates. Top with chicken. Spoon mango mixture over chicken. If desired, garnish with lime wedges. Makes 4 servings (1/2 cup pepper mixture, 1/2 cup chicken breast, and a scant 1/2 cup mango mixture per serving).
