Seared Chicken With Fresh Pineapple Ginger And Mint Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pineapple and sear until very dark on one side, 5 to 10 minutes; it should look almost burned. Flip and add the remaining coconut oil if the skillet looks dry. Cook on the other side until darkly seared, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the tequila and cook an additional minute to deglaze the skillet. Remove the pineapple to a cutting board and let cool before cutting into small dice.
• Add the pineapple and any remaining tequila liquid to a bowl. Add the cilantro, onion, lime juice and jalapeno. Toss to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the top with the toasted coconut and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the honey and the lime juice. Combine the pineapple, cucumber and mint in a medium bowl, pour the dressing over and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Stir in the scallions, pepper, garlic, ginger, allspice, and thyme. Cook for 30 seconds over a medium heat. Add the chicken broth and soy sauce and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice. Put the chicken back in the pan and coat well with the sauce.
• Serve with the pineapple salsa.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the salsa ingredients. Set aside.
• In another small bowl, stir together the Chili Powder, thyme, allspice, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle over both sides of the chicken. Using your fingertips, gently press the mixture so it adheres to the chicken.
• Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center. Serve the chicken with the salsa on the side.
