Chicken with Citrus Avocado Salsa
Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 oz each)
- 1 ruby red grapefruit
- 1 cup avocado (cubed)
- 6 large radishes (sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 6 lettuce leafs (red or green) (optional)
Instructions
- Place chicken in large saucepan with 4 cups salted water & bring to a boil.
- Turn off heat, cover & let stand 15 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160 F
- Remove peel & pit from grapefruit with knife while chicken cooks. Working over a bowl to catch juice, free each segment from its membrane & cut segments into bite-size pieces, dropping them into the bowl. Add avocado, radishes, basil & salt. Toss gently to mix.
- Drain chicken (discard liquid) & cut crosswise into 1/2" slices. Divide grapefruit mixture into 6 portions & add 1 piece of chicken to each, drizzling chicken with grapefruit juice. Serve over lettuce leaves and garnish with additional basil leaves.
