Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Chicken breast is a lean protein choice. Protein supplies amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.
  • tip 2
    The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Making it ahead will actually allow the flavors to blend.
  • tip 3
    If you're using a charcoal grill, plan on about 40 minutes to prep the grill and heat charcoal to the correct temperature. Gas and electric grills will take about 10 minutes.
  • tip 4
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
