LEMON CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO-CORN SALSA

Avocados in the salsa supply a generous portion of monounsaturated fat and fiber. If fresh corn is not in season, opt for frozen; it will taste better and have more nutrients than any "fresh" corn in the grocery store.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 ears corn, husks and silks removed (or 1 cup frozen corn kernels)
2 teaspoons finely chopped red jalapeƱo chiles (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 firm, ripe Hass avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted, peeled, and diced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces baby arugula

Steps:

  • Combine chicken with 2 tablespoons each oil and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, turning once.
  • Working in a large bowl, stand each ear of corn on its flat end; shave off kernels with a serrated knife (to yield about 1 cup total).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add corn kernels, chiles, and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grates for just 6 to 8 seconds). Grill chicken until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
  • Stir together black beans, onion, corn mixture, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon oil. Add tomatoes, avocados, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste); season with pepper, and stir gently to combine.
  • Toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons each oil and lemon juice. Divide evenly among plates, and top with chicken and avocado-corn salsa. Serve immediately.
