Grilled Chicken Breast with Lemon Myrtle & Finger Lime Salsa

You don’t need much to create something incredible – just a handful of fresh, high-quality ingredients.

• 2 Tender Gourmet Butchery Chicken Breasts
• 1 teaspoon lemon myrtle powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Finger Lime Salsa:

• 2 finger limes, pulp extracted
• ½ red onion, finely diced
• 1 small cucumber, diced
• 1 tablespoon chopped coriander
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Juice of ½ a lime

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create perfectly grilled chicken breast with a fresh citrus salsa.

1. Brown the chicken breasts (optional): If desired, brown the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side. This will give the chicken a bit of extra flavour.
2. Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker: Place the browned chicken breasts (or unbrowned) in the slow cooker.
3. Add seasonings and liquids: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Pour the chicken broth, water, and wine (if using) over the chicken.
4. Cook on low or high heat: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is cooked through when it is tender and easily flakes with a fork.
5. Serve: Serve the chicken with your favourite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Cooking Tips:

• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling for extra juiciness.
• Swap finger lime for lemon zest if unavailable.
• Serve with charred asparagus or grilled zucchini for a complete meal.
