Serves 4

 

  • 1 jar (16 ounces) Frontera Tomatillo Salsa
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves, pounded to about 1-inch thick
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 large ripe avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, diced
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

 

  1. Mix together 1/4 cup of the Salsa with 1 tablespoon of the oil in a baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, if time permits.
  2. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-hot heat. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add the remaining salsa to the skillet. Stir for several minutes to concentrate it slightly, then stir in the broth and boil gently until thickened enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the avocado and season sauce with salt.
  3. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt. Grill 8 inches from medium-hot coals, turning once, until nicely seared and nearly cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Spoon the sauce onto 4 warm plates. Top with a piece of grilled chicken. Garnish with cilantro.

Made this recipe. Turned out really well. Lots of flavor. I don't have a grill accessible so I put it in the oven and added some yellow peppers & tomatoes. The peppers gave it some sweetness which complemented the spiciness of the salsa very nicely and added lots of color for a great presentation!

The tomatillo salsa takes on a deeper flavor after reducing it down. In addition to adding the avocado, some diced fried potatoes also goes well. By using the jar salsa you can have this meal ready in extremely quick.
