Marinated Grilled Chicken with Cucumber-Watermelon Salsa

Marinated Grilled Chicken with Cucumber-Watermelon Salsa

Ingredients
SERVES 4

• For the marinade (makes enough for 1lb of meat):
• 1/4 cup soy sauce or gluten-free Tamari
• 2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil (or other high-heat oil)
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 4 crushed garlic cloves, peeled (not chopped garlic - it will burn on the grill!)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more or less)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• For the Watermelon-Cucumber Salsa:
• 1-1/2 cups chopped watermelon
• 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 jalapeno, minced
• 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 green onion, chopped
• juice of 1 lime
• drizzle of honey
• salt & pepper

Directions

1. Whisk marinade ingredients together in a bowl then transfer to a plastic Ziplock bag set inside another large bowl.
2. Pound chicken to an even thickness then score diagonally across the top and place inside bag with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Grill chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes a side, or until no longer pink in the center. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
3. For the Watermelon-Cucumber Salsa: combine ingredients in a bowl then spoon over grilled chicken.

NOTE: this marinade is also awesome for steak - marinate for 2-6 hours in the fridge before grilling.
