I find this time of year incredibly busy – I mean, it always is but Thanksgiving up until Christmas is nuts around here. With birthday parties, hockey tournaments, gearing up for Halloween and then Christmas holidays and festivities, I need to prepare meals quickly, without compromising flavour.
Now that it’s getting dark earlier, I don’t like to barbecue outside. The last time I attempted to grill outside was a disaster. Even with the lights on, I under-cooked my burgers because they looked well done but it’s tough to see well enough at night.
Hamilton Beach’s Searing Grill with removable plates brings those delicious outdoor flavours indoors. This recipe for Chicken with Lime Cilantro Avocado is perfect for the Searing Grill and is ready within a half hour – perfect for busy weeknights.
Chicken with Lime Cilantro Avocado Salsa
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into halves
1 avocado, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped (I skipped the tomatoes this time as I didn’t have any on hand!)
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch of chili powder
Instructions:
In glass bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp of the coriander, olive oil, and half each of the salt and pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least a half an hour.
To prepare salsa, combine chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, avocado and remaining lime juice, coriander, salt and pepper into a bowl and gently stir. Set aside.
Place chicken on grill over medium-high heat of the indoor grill. Close lid and grill until no longer pink inside, about 5-7 minutes per side. Serve salsa over chicken.
The high searing temperature of the Searing Grill locks in the juices and flavour. There is an adjustable temperature control as well. Cooking time was only about 12 minutes and I had only put the temperature on medium heat.
What’s even better – the removable non-stick grill and drip tray are easy to wash by hand, no scrubbing! You can also put them in the dishwasher.
