Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients minus the chicken in a glass bowl mixing well.

Add the chicken, cover and allow it to marinate for a half hour at room temp.
Do not let this sit for more than 30 minutes as the acid in the juices will cook the chicken.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard any remaining marinade.

Cook for 5-7 minutes each side or until the internal temperature is 165.

Garnish with Watermelon & Pineapple Salsa.
