Chicken with Mexican Dry Rub and Fruit Salsa

Chicken with Mexican Dry Rub and Fruit Salsa
Here's a perfect Mexican Dry Rub for your next chicken dish (oh, and the fruit salsa is an added bonus!)

This is a recipe I created while on the hcg diet. I’ve adapted it for the 17 Day Diet. Pay attention to the omission if you’re on Cycle 1.


Chicken with Mexican Dry Rub & Fruit Salsa


Ingredients:


1 tsp oregano

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive Oil

2 chicken breasts


Directions:


On medium high, heat oil in pan. Mix together spices and sprinkle dry rub mixture liberally on both sides of chicken breasts. Pan fry chicken until golden brown on one side on medium high, turn over, reduce heat to medium low, cover and continue cooking until done.


Slice chicken into thin strips.


Chicken topped with this fruit salsa makes for a flavorful low-carb meal for the 17 Day Diet. Omit avocado if you're on C1.
Fruit Salsa

Zest of 1 lemon

Sweetener of choice, to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions:


Cut up fruit in bite size pieces, add other ingredients and mix together.


Serve hot chicken over bed of lettuce and top with salsa.
