instructions
    1

    Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken and let it sit while preparing the salsa.

    2

    Chop the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro finely. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ingredients and squeeze the juice of 2 limes over them. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

    3

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

    4

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps to keep the juices locked in.

    5

    Serve the grilled chicken topped with the fresh salsa. Enjoy your meal!
