Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tomato cucumber salsa. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and the cucumber into small cubes. Finely dice the red onion.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 6

Add the fresh lime juice, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything well.

Step 7

To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate and top it with a generous spoonful of the tomato cucumber salsa. Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro leaves or a lime wedge.
