Peach Salsa is great way to jazz up chicken or fish.
It's sweet and sassy and very easy to make.
2 cup peaches,
chopped
1 cup red onion,
chopped
4 tablespoons (packed) fresh cilantro,
chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime
juice
2 Tbsp. jalapeño,
minced (seeds removed)
2 Tbsp. white sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup yellow
cornmeal
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chile powder
1/3 cup peanut oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken
breasts
Toss peaches, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño
and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Refrigerate
in a covered container until ready for use.
Combine flour, breadcrumbs. cornmeal, salt and chile
powder in a medium bowl until well blended. Lightly
flatten chicken breasts with the smooth side of a meat
pounder. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high
heat. Dip the chicken breasts in a bowl of cold water,
then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture. Carefully
place chicken breasts in the skillet. Reduce the heat
to medium. Cook until golden brown, turn and brown the
other side of the breast, about 4-5 minutes on each
side. Remove chicken breasts from skillet and allow
to drain on paper towels. If necessary gently blot the
top of the breasts to remove excess oil. Spoon the peach
salsa over the chicken and serve immediately.
