Garlic Cilantro Chicken Bites with Kiwi Strawberry Salsa

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Kiwi Strawberry Salsa:

2 ripe kiwis, peeled and diced

1 cup strawberries, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Juice of 1 lime

Pinch of salt

In a bowl, mix garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken bites and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).

In a medium bowl, combine diced kiwis, strawberries, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

Toss gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the marinated chicken bites for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.

Arrange the chicken bites on a platter or over a bed of greens.

Spoon the kiwi-strawberry salsa over the chicken. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
