Steps
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, remembering to flip the chicken halfway through marinating.

After taking the chicken out of the marinade, proceed to grill or broil it 4 inches away from the heat source. While cooking, remember to baste the chicken with the marinade until it turns slightly golden and is fully cooked, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Allow the grilled chicken to rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Cut each chicken breast into 1/2-inch diagonal slices and arrange them neatly on two dinner plates. Spoon the salsa over the chicken slices, then garnish with a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Serve the dish right away.
