This tangy, smoky salsa is the perfect match for pasture-raised chicken hot off the grill. It’s fresh, vibrant, and simple—just how summer should taste.
🧺 What You’ll Need
For the Chicken:
- 1.5–2 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 jalapeño (optional, for heat)
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 1 small yellow onion, quartered
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
🔥 How to Make It
- Prep the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Veggies:
- Toss tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeño, garlic, and onion with a bit of olive oil. Grill for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and softened. Let cool slightly.
- Make the Salsa:
- 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.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Rub chicken with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Grill 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and charred at the edges.
- Serve:
- Slice the chicken and spoon the salsa generously over the top. Serve with warm tortillas, grilled veggies, or rice.
