Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 lime, juiced
• 5 green onions, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 4 small chicken breasts
• 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
• 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup club soda

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Serve with salsa.

Step 4

Combine cilantro, club soda, olive oil, honey, lime zest, juice of 1 lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a blender; blend until marinade is smooth, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap; gently pound using a meat mallet to about ½-inch thickness. Place in a large glass or ceramic bowl; add marinade and toss to evenly coat chicken. Set aside at room temperature, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Toss tomatoes, strawberries, green onions, cilantro, jalapeño, juice of 1 lime, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 7

Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted in centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
