Grilled Chicken with Strawberry and Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients:
Chicken
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each)
-
2 teaspoons salt-free steak seasoning blend
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
Salsa
-
1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
-
2 slices fresh pineapple, each 1/2 inch thick, patted dry

1 cup whole strawberries (about 5 ounces), diced

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
-
3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
-
1-2 teaspoons sugar
-
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1 medium lemon
Instructions:
-
Preheat the grill on medium high. Brush a grill pan or grill rack with the oil. Heat the grill pan or rack on the grill for about 2 minutes, or until hot. Grill the pineapple for 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly before chopping
-
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the remaining salsa ingredients except the lemon. Grate 1 teaspoon lemon zest, reserving the lemon. Stir the zest and chopped pineapple into the strawberry mixture. Set aside.
-
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the seasoning blend and salt.
-
Grill for 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the center. Transfer to plates.
-
Squeeze the reserved lemon over the chicken. Serve with the salsa on the side.
This light and refreshing dish features juicy grilled chicken topped with a vibrant strawberry and pineapple salsa, bursting with sweet, spicy, and citrusy flavors. It’s the perfect balance of savory and fresh, ideal for a summer meal.
Fun Fact: Grilled fruit caramelizes slightly on the grill, bringing out even more of its natural sweetness—perfect for salsas and sides.
