This tangy, smoky salsa is the perfect match for pasture-raised chicken hot off the grill. Itโ€™s fresh, vibrant, and simpleโ€”just how summer should taste.

๐Ÿงบ What Youโ€™ll Need

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5โ€“2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the Salsa:

  • 1 lb tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1 jalapeรฑo (optional, for heat)
  • 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 small yellow onion, quartered
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

๐Ÿ”ฅ How to Make It

  1. Prep the Grill:
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the Veggies:
  4. Toss tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeรฑo, garlic, and onion with a bit of olive oil. Grill for 8โ€“10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and softened. Let cool slightly.
  5. Make the Salsa:
  6. Peel the garlic, remove poblano stems and most of the seeds. Blend all grilled veggies with cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth but still textured.
  7. Grill the Chicken:
  8. Rub chicken with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Grill 5โ€“6 minutes per side until cooked through and charred at the edges.
  9. Serve:
  10. Slice the chicken and spoon the salsa generously over the top. Serve with warm tortillas, grilled veggies, or rice.
