Ingredients

1 ½ cups strawberries chopped
½ cup avocado peeled and diced
2 tablespoons jalapeño pepper minced seeded
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped fresh
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
¾ teaspoon kosher salt divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken breast cutlets 4-ounce
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 lime wedges
4 cups romaine or green lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

Combine the strawberries, avocado, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Season both sides of chicken cutlets with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook for 3 minutes without disturbing.
Turn chicken cutlets over and cook for 3 more minutes - optional to cover with a lid.
Divide lettuce leaves among the plates (about 4 per plate). Divide the chicken amongst the plates and then top with salsa. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

It's optional to cover the chicken during the last 3 minutes of cooking - I think it keeps it more moist.

If you like spicy foods, leave in the jalapeño seeds.
