Organic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts are my go to source for fast protein. I always keep a bag of frozen in my freezer for last minute meals. They thaw out in cold water pretty quickly and you can add any spice or ingredients you like. I love this recipe, the fresh salsa combined with Dijon mustard, dill and lime explodes in your mouth. Who says healthy must be boring and bland? Experiment with your salsas, go as mild or spicy as you feel.
