Lime-Grilled Chicken with Chive Polenta

Rating: 51

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Makes 4 servings

Calories per serving: 303

Fat per serving: 10g

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon grated lime peel

3 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal

1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup salsa

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.
