Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 medium-sized fresh tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 small jalapeño (optional)
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 4

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sun-dried fresh tomato salsa. Dice the fresh tomatoes and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and honey. If you like some heat, finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the mixture.

Step 6

Stir the salsa until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or lime juice.

Step 7

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 3-5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Plate each chicken breast and top generously with the sun-dried fresh tomato salsa. Serve immediately.
