1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup thick and chunky salsa (with fruit)

How to make it 

 To brine the meat: Rinse chicken breasts in cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Coat chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for about 2 hours and make the glaze. 

Whisk salsa and preserves together in a small bowl. 

Cook chicken on a preheated grill, on medium-high heat, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees basting with salsa mixture about half way through cooking.  Right before chicken is done, coat with a thick layer of salsa glaze and do not flip again before removing from the grill.
