Someone gave me this recipe a few years back and it's become a household favorite. You can use mild, medium or hot salsa depending on your taste. I usually serve it with Spanish rice and Mexican-style canned corn. Very easy and quick!

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (about 1 1/2 pounds) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon grated lime or lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice

Coat the chicken with this mixture, and transfer it to a zippered plastic bags. Press out all the air and refrigerate until ready to grill. Make the salsa. Over a mixing bowl, grate 1 teaspoon of the orange zest. Peel away the skin and white pith from the oranges.

Squeeze remaining juice from the membranes over the orange sections and stir in the pepper, chives, olive oil, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste and a pinch of dried red pepper flakes, if you wish. When ready to eat, lightly oil a grill or broiler pan.
