Pollo con Salsita (Chicken with Little Salsa)
Indulge in crispy chicken smothered in a zesty salsa that’s sure to please everyone at the table!
Preheat your skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, letting it warm for about 2 minutes.
While the pan is heating, season the 2 chicken breast pieces with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
Once the skillet is hot, place the chicken breast in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, dice the 2 tomatoes and 1 onion into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Chop 1 stalk of cilantro finely and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and onion.
Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salsa mixture and stir well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Once the chicken is done cooking, let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Serve the sliced chicken topped with the fresh salsa mixture on a plate.
