I got this Gourment TODAY cookbook for my birthday last year and have not had a chance to use it much, so. . . . we tried a recipe tonight.
Grilled Cumin Chicken Breasts
with Avocado Salsa
Gourmet TODAY p. 524
Ruth Reichl
For salsa:
3 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
2 California avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and finely chopped
3/4 cup red onion (I forgot to put this in)
1 jalapeno minced
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp salt
Stir all ingredients together.
For chicken:
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
3 chicken breasts, trimmed and cut in half
Stir together cumin, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pat chicken dry and rub all over with cumin mixture. Grill chicken over indirect heat for 25-30 minutes. Serve with salsa.
We had it with some brown rice and cooked corn! Joe made his into a "Chipotle bowl".
The kids and I had it all separately :)
The verdict--Joe and I liked it, Peyton didn't mind it and said thank you for the dinner Mom (he was being nice, but also looking for kudos from Sammy, our "elf"), Addison complained :)
Everyone ate!
