ingredients

¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
¹⁄₄ teaspoon ground cumin
¹⁄₄ teaspoon coriander
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 plum tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
¹⁄₈ teaspoon ground red pepper

directions

In a small bowl, combine the oregano, cumin and corriander and 1/4 tsp of the salt. Rub the chicken with the spice mixture, drizzle with oil and cook in a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
While the chicken is cooking, make the salsa : combine the tomato, cucumber, parsley, vinegar, pepper and remaining salt. Refrigerate salsa till chicken is done. After chicken is cooked, spoon salsa over chicken and serve.
I actually made 10 times the amount of the spice mixture and put it in an extra salt shaker so when I make this chicken, I just shake a little of the spices on while it is cooking.

Delicious! i mixed the spices with the oil and then rubbed it on the chicken and baked. We loved the chicken with or without the salsa

Wonderful! I made just 2 changes...I couldn't find my oregano so I used basil. Also, I grilled this outdoors. We loved the 'salsa' with the chicken! So quick and easy, I'll for sure be making this again. Thanks for posting this recipe CandleLady!

This was delicious!! Although I scaled to 2 servings, I used the full spice amount for the chicken. I cut the breasts into strips to reduce cooking time, sprayed my skillet with Pam and sprinkled the spices directly on the meat. I made extra salsa with fresh-from-the-garden parsley, cucs & tomatoes (not plum); it went perfectly with the spice on the chicken. I packed the leftover salsa in hubby's lunch today. Thanx Veronica!
