This vibrant grilled chicken with salsa is a fantastic choice for a light, nutritious midweek meal. By marinating the lean chicken breasts in lemon, garlic, and extra-virgin olive oil, the meat stays incredibly tender and juicy under the grill. The addition of a homemade avocado and tomato salsa provides a creamy texture and a punch of citrus that perfectly complements the savoury, charred notes of the chicken.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats and high-quality protein. It is an ideal option for anyone looking for a heart-healthy dinner that does not compromise on taste. Serve it alongside a fresh green salad or some steamed seasonal vegetables for a complete, balanced meal that feels truly indulgent.

Ingredients for Chicken Breast with Salsa
2 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves (about 110g each)
Juice of 1 lemon
60ml extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Salsa, for serving (see recipe)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
How to make Chicken Breast with Salsa
Place chicken in a bowl and toss well with the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes, turning once.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, then grill or grill 4 inches from the heat source, basting with marinade until slightly golden and cooked through, 3 or 4 minutes a side. Let chicken rest for 3 minutes.
Slice each breast into 1/2-inch slices on the diagonal and reform on two dinner plates; top with the salsa. Sprinkle with the tablespoon of coriander. Serve immediately.
Toss 1 diced avocado in a bowl with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Fold in 1 diced tomato and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander. Season to taste.
