Ingredients:

• 6 tomatoes
• 2 oranges

• 2 teaspoons gingerroot
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 4 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon jalapeno pepper (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, segmented oranges, freshly chopped cilantro, minced gingerroot, and finely diced jalapeno pepper to create the vibrant hot citrus salsa mixture. Set aside.

2. Carefully pound the chicken breast halves with a meat mallet or rolling pin to achieve an even thickness, ensuring they cook evenly.

3. In a small bowl, mix the ground cumin with salt and pepper to create a flavorful rub.

4. Rub the cumin mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breast halves, ensuring they are well coated with the aromatic spices.

5. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

6. Add the seasoned chicken breast halves to the skillet and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

8. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the chicken and salsa to heat together for an additional 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

9. Once heated through, remove the skillet from the heat and serve the chicken with generous spoonfuls of the hot citrus salsa on top.
