- 2 ripe, red tomatoes, diced
- 2 Serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and minced
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh mint, cilantro or basil
- 1 ripe, fresh California Avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the chicken:
- 1/2 sweet white onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 serrano chili pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Preparation
For the salsa:
Gently combine all ingredients. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.
For the chicken:
Make a marinade by combining the onion, ginger, chili pepper, soy sauce and oil.
Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size reasealable plastic bag. Add the marinade to the bag, seal and knead the bag to coat the chicken. Let rest at room temperature for one half hour to one hour. Discard the marinade.
Over a medium-hot grill, grill the chicken thighs for about 10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Top the chicken with the California Avocado Red, White and Blueberry Salsa; serve.
