Ingredients
| 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice | ||
| Garlic | 1 Clove (5gm), minced | |
| Chili powder | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Ground black pepper | 1 To taste | |
| 1 whole chicken breast (1 1/4 pounds) | ||
| Citrus Salsa Topping | ||
| Salt | To Taste | |
Directions
1. Combine the lemon juice, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a round mi-crowaveable dish. Rub this mixture onto the chicken and marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, poke a few holes in it for steam vents, and microwave at 100% power for 10 minutes. Uncover, turn the chicken over, re-cover, and microwave until just cooked through, another 6 to 7 minutes. Let the chicken stand for 3 minutes (it will cook a bit more upon standing). Spoon the juices over the top, and serve with the salsa.
