Lemon Chicken with Avocado-Corn Salsa
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
- 2 ears corn, husks and silks removed (or 1 cup frozen corn kernels)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped red jalapeno chiles (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
- 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
- 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 firm, ripe Hass avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted, peeled, and diced
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 ounces baby arugula
- Combine chicken with 2 tablespoons each oil and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish.
- Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, turning once.
- Working in a large bowl, stand each ear of corn on its flat end; shave off kernels with a serrated knife (to yield about 1 cup total).
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium.
- Add corn kernels, chiles, and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Let cool.
- Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grates for just 6 to 8 seconds).
- Grill chicken until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir together black beans, onion, corn mixture, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add tomatoes, avocados, and 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste); season with pepper, and stir gently to combine.
- Toss arugula with remaining 2 teaspoons each oil and lemon juice.
- Divide evenly among plates, and top with chicken and avocado-corn salsa.
- Serve immediately.
