Fresh salsa dresses up grilled chicken--or any other meat for that matter--in this healthy chicken dinner recipe. Want an island vibe? Swap mango for the cucumber and lime juice for the rice vinegar.

  • Combine 1 tablespoon oil, coriander and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush on both sides of chicken.

  • Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes total. (Alternatively, cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.)

  • Meanwhile, combine cucumber, radishes, mint and vinegar in a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the chicken.

The salsa was ok on the night I served it with the chicken--nothing spectacular. I kept leftovers in the fridge and by the morning the smell from the (covered) salsa was overpowering and not appetizing. Read More

I made the Mango and lime variation. The chicken was delicious with the ground coriander and the salsa was so fresh tasting. Weird flavor combo but I think overall it works! Read More
