- 2 cups low-fat or non-fat plain yogurt
- juice and zest of 2 limes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 4 to 6 ounces each
- For the corn salsa:
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels, cut from the cob (about 4 ears)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 chopped, fresh plum tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 jalape�o chili peppers, or to taste, seeded and finely chopped
Instructions
- For the marinated grilled chicken: Mix all the ingredients except the chicken in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken to the mixture and coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. (This protects against cross-contamination.) Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook until the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- For the corn salsa: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, season with salt and pepper and cook for another minute. Add the vinegar and cook for 1 more minute.
- Transfer the corn into a small bowl and cool slightly. Stir in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro and jalape�o pepper. Adjust the salt and pepper to suit your taste. (This can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)
- Spoon the salsa on each piece of grilled chicken.
