Marinated chicken and salsa are an excellent pairing, especially for a big cookout, because you can make the salsa ahead and set the chicken up to marinate at the same time. The flavor of both components will improve with a night in the fridge, and having the chicken ready to throw on the grill will make your party prep easy.
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 6 chicken breasts
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ red onion, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
- 1 tsp. cumin
Corn Salsa:

- 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
- ⅔ cup chopped red onion
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp. cumin
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
Directions
- Place chicken in glass baking dish. Combine all remaining chicken ingredients and pour over chicken. Turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator (3-24 hours).
- Toss all salsa ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Heat grill to medium. Remove chicken from and discard marinade. Grill chicken until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (12-15 minutes).
