Ingredients
For the Strawberry Salsa:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
- 1 cup black beans
- 2 stalks green onion chopped
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- sea salt to taste
For the Balsamic Grilled Chicken:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts see note*
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For Serving
- 3 to 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 large avocado sliced
- 4 radishes thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Grilled Chicken:
- Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chili powder and sea salt to a small bowl and whisk together until well-combined. Place the chicken breasts in a zip lock bag (or sealable container) along with the balsamic marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 12.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush off any food particles from your last grilling experience with a wire brush. Lightly coat the grill with oil. Grill the chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side over direct heat, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 to 165 degrees F (Note: You can cook the chicken on a George Foreman indoor grill for 6 to 8 minutes).
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow it to sit 5 minutes to allow the juices to distribute throughout the meat. Cut into slices and serve on a bed of cooked rice with strawberry black bean salsa, avocado, sliced radishes, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Prepare the Salsa:
- Add all ingredients for the salsa to a bowl and stir together until well combined. Taste salsa for flavor and add more lime juice/and or sea salt to taste. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- *you can also use bone-in chicken thighs and drums
