Lime-Grilled Chicken With Chive Polenta Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated lime peel
3 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tbsp snipped fresh chives
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup prepared salsa

Recipe Instructions:

Combine parsley, olive oil, garlic and lime peel in small bowl; mix well; set aside.

Bring chicken broth to a boil in large saucepan. Gradually stir in cornmeal. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring frequently, 15 minutes or until mixture is thick and pulls away from side of pan. (Mixture may be lumpy.) Stir in sour cream and chives; cover, set aside and keep warm.

Sprinkle chicken with salt. To prevent sticking, spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare grill for direct grilling. Place chicken on grid, 3 to 4 inches from medium-hot coals. Grill 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Spread parsley mixture evenly over both sides of chicken; cook 1 minute longer on each side.

Serve chicken with polenta; top with salsa.
