Do you all get in a chicken rut like I do? I love grilled chicken, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, but I get tired of it sometimes and am always looking for something to add to it. My 3 year old doesn’t like many marinades for chicken so we have to find ways to add flavor in other ways. Since my daughter, like most children, loves fruit I thought this would be a perfect way to get some flavor in our boring chicken meals.
This was a huge hit for everyone. The kiwi and lime juice add a great, fresh flavor and the onion, jalapeno, and cilantro round out the salsa without adding too much heat. I took it easy with the jalapeno and only used half since it was a large one and I’m feeding a child! If you want, you can add a little bit and taste it and if you want more you can add to it.
This salsa works well with grilled pork, swordfish, or white fish as well.
Grilled Chicken with Kiwi Salsa
Ingredients
- 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced

- 1 tsp grated lime zest
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients and set aside. When you are ready to serve, top each chicken breast with the kiwi salsa and serve.
