  • Cut your chicken breasts in half and pound a little thinner to make 4 servings. The breasts I had were so large I ended up with 4 pieces, each about 3-4 oz. Perfect for a serving!
    2 large boneless chicken breasts
  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Grill over a medium flame for about 5-6 minutes a side or pan fry with some non-stick spray if you don't have a grill.
  • Serve each half of breast with ¼ of the salsa on top.
