Grilled Chicken Breasts with Melon Salsa

  • 1 1/3 cups finely diced peeled seeded melon
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded serrano chile

Combine diced melon, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, finely diced red onion, lime juice, olive oil, grated lime peel, and chopped serrano chile in medium bowl. Toss to blend flavors. Season melon salsa to taste with salt and pepper.

Spray grill with nonstick vegetable oil spray; prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
