Chicken with Blackberry Salsa

It is summer time and I am always looking for quick, easy, healthy, and able to grill kind of things. Today’s recipe is just that. I cannot take the credit for it as I found it on Mix and Match Mama and it is so good. I did add a few things from Shay’s but I definitely used 90% of her reciepe and my entire family was very pleased. It is fresh and it is light and it is oh so good! I honestly think you could top any meat from the grill with this amazing salsa! All summer long!!!!!

Chicken with Blackberry Salsa

Chicken (Or honestly whatever meat you choose from beef, to fish, pork, whatever you are in the mood for) I used thighs this time.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Lemon Pepper seasoning

1 red onion chopped

2-3 tablespoon chopped jar garlic

2 pints of blackberries

1 jalapeno, chopped and seeded….unless of course you like the heat

1 large tomato, chopped

a handful of cilantro, chopped

I got a gallon bag and put my chicken in it. I then threw in some olive oil, lemon pepper, pinch or two of salt, black pepper, and chopped garlic. Shook it up real good and let it sit in the refrigerator all day.

The salsa I made earlier in the day as well so it had some time to marinate and get good and juicy. For the salsa you will need a mixing bowl. In your mixing bowl combine your red onion, blackberries, chopped jalapeno, chopped tomato and cilantro. Add some salt and pepper and lightly stir with a fork. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

When you are ready preheat your grill and cook your meat to your desired temperature. For chicken we usually do about 8 minutes or so on each side.

Once chicken is grilled to your liking, plate and top with your salsa and serve with a side of my lemon rice and broccoli. This dish is so good and so easy.

Bon Appetit!
