This is a really easy chicken breast recipe. The cilantro and green salsa make it very fresh and tasty.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 chopped or minced garlic cloves
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup green salsa or taco sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Pound chicken until it is flattened evenly. Season chicken with pepper.
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and cook over medium heat until the chicken is browned and almost cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to plate and leave drippings in pan.
Add garlic to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the salsa along with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a simmer. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices on the plate to the sauce. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
Serve with warm whole grain tortillas and fresh lime.
