Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the marinade, combine the serranos, garlic, lime rind and lime juice in a shallow dish. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a grill or broiler. To make the salad, toss together the rice, parsley, chopped cilantro, mint and serranos in a large bowl. Add the lime juice, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper and toss to coat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill or broil until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Cut into ¼-inch dice and toss into the salad. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Divide among 4 plates. Garnish each plate with a lime slice and cilantro leaves and serve.
