Salsa is great substitute for other marinades, offering a medley of flavours with a lower salt content but nothing lost on taste.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (~ 4oz each)

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp brown sugar

½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper

¼ tsp salt

1 lemon cut into 4 wedges

Olive or canola oil spray

Salsa:

2 cups finely chopped mango

3 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves

2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

¼ cup finely chopped red onion

1 tsp lemon zest

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. Rinse chicken breast halves, pat dry and flatten to ~ ½ “ thick.
  2. Combine 1 Tbsp olive oil, curry powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Brush over chicken and let marinade for ~ 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, stir together salsa ingredients in a small bowl.
  4. Spray a pan with olive oil or canola oil spray and place over medium to hot stove plate. When oil is hot, add chicken breasts. Cook them for ~ 4 mins on each side or until they are no longer pink inside and juices run clear. Transfer breast halves to a larger platter. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken, serve with salsa.
