Thyme Grilled Chicken with Tropical Lychee Salsa

This tropical salsa is actually a kind of salad, best eaten in the summers as its a very fresh, non-greasy salad. I paired it up with the thyme chicken because again this chicken has almost no spices in it at all... again very ideal for summers. For that matter, you can have the salsa just as a meal or pair it with any grilled chicken or fish or even plain ol' boiled eggs!!


Tropical Lychee Salsa :-

  • half cup diced lychees
  • half cup diced mangoes
  • half cup diced cucumbers
  • half cup red bell peppers
  • 3 tbsp chopped coriander or parsley
  • 4 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
  • salt
  • pepper
Mix all the above. Season well. Refrigerate till further use.

Thyme Grilled Chicken :-
  • 1 kg boneless breasts
  • salt
  • pepper
  • fresh thyme or dried thyme
  • parsley
  • oil
  • butter
Season the chicken pieces well with the marinade. Cover. Keep aside for 2-3 hours
In a pan, heat oil + butter. When it becomes smoking hot, fry the chicken pcs in it till they are a delicious golden brown, app. 3-4 mins each side.
lower the flame, cook till the chicken is cooked properly.

Now, place the cooked chicken in the centre of your serving plate. Pour over the butter from the pan and now add the salsa generously over the chicken.

Happy Eating :)
