Ingredients

• For the salsa:
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 cup finely diced pineapple
• 1/3 cup finely diced, seeded English cucumber
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
• For the chicken:
• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 5 ounces each, pounded to 1/2-inch thick
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions (about 3 scallions)
• 1/4 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile pepper, seeded and finely minced
• 1/2 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, or 1/4 teaspoon ground
• 1/2 teaspoon all spice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoons lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

For the Salsa:
In a small bowl whisk together the honey and the lime juice. Combine the pineapple, cucumber and mint in a medium bowl, pour the dressing over and toss to combine. Set aside.

For the chicken:
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Stir in the scallions, pepper, garlic, ginger, allspice, and thyme. Cook for 30 seconds over a medium heat. Add the chicken broth and soy sauce and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the lime juice. Put the chicken back in the pan and coat well with the sauce.
Serve with the pineapple salsa.
