Chicken with Tomato-Gorgonzola Salsa

This has a nice fresh taste, good for a hot day.
  • 2c chopped tomato
  • 1/3c chopped red onion
  • 1/3 c chopped fresh basil
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt, divided into two
  • 6x 6oz skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • cooking spray
  • 3 TB crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Combine tomato, onion, basil, oil, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature.

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to a quarter inch thickness with a meat mallet. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with remaining salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Coat with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan and cook 4 min per side, or until browned and done. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Stir cheese into tomato mixture. Serve chicken breasts with salsa on top of them.

Yield: 6 servings, each one chicken breast with 1/3c salsa
