Cilantro-Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Pico de Gallo


Tuesday March 20

As usual, a green mist of cilantro is coming up in our garden as a useful spring weed.  We garnered a bunch and ground it up with salt and garlic, then stuffed it under the skin of a couple of chicken breasts.  Sautéed them quickly, then doused with a little wine and broth and let simmer under cover until done.
Holt's been craving pico de gallo, so we bought some late-winter tomatoes, brought them to ripeness as carefully as we could, and chopped them up with onion, more cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.  It gave the meal a spice of New Mexico.
