4 servings (serving size: 2 tomato slices, 1 chicken breast half, about 1/2 cup salsa, and 2 tablespoons queso fresco)
Prep: 6 Minutes - Chill: 30 Minutes - Cook: 12 Minutes

The shortcut marinade begins with the flavorful drained liquid from the salsa. Choose a fresh juicy salsa with chunks of tomatoes and onions, which you can find in the deli or produce section of your supermarket, rather than a thick, tomato sauce-based product. Serve with tortillas.

Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) container fresh salsa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 green tomatoes, each cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices
Cooking spray
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled queso fresco

Preparation:
1. Drain salsa in a colander over a bowl, reserving liquid. Set salsa aside.

2. Combine reserved liquid, oil, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken and tomato to bag; seal and shake gently to coat. Chill 30 minutes.

3. Prepare grill.

4. Remove chicken and tomato from bag, reserving marinade. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray; pour reserved marinade over chicken. Place tomato slices on grill rack. Grill chicken 6 minutes on each side or until done. Grill tomatoes 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve chicken with tomatoes; top with reserved salsa and queso fresco.
