Lime Tropical Chicken

I was looking for a way to use a few extra limes and some fresh garden tomatoes and cilantro. Another recipe blog I followed gave me this idea. This was a yummy way to enjoy some chicken.

Pineapple Salsa:
1/2 c. pineapple tidbits
1/4 c. chopped tomatoes
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 small bunch of fresh cilantro leaves

4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp EVOO
1 tsp. grated lime peel
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup uncooked couscous


In a small bowl, combine the salsa ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.

In a large saucepan, add oil, lime juice ad lime zest. Sprinkler salt and pepper on chicken then place in the saucepan. Cook on medium-low until cooked through. Cook couscous according to package directions while chicken is simmering.

Serve chicken on top of couscous, topped with fresh salsa.

Serves: 4
