Thin-sliced chicken breasts are rubbed with ancho chili powder, and topped with a refreshing fruit salsa to tame the heat. We recommend using ancho chili powder in this recipe over regular chili powder. While you could use regular version in a pinch, it’s typically blended with other spices and isn’t quite as sweet as the ancho variety which made from 100% ground chiles. Convenient precut fresh pineapple lets you assemble the salsa in seconds. If chicken cutlets aren’t available at your supermarket, buy boneless chicken breasts instead and slice them in half lengthwise. For a quick side dish, toss some black beans with a diced bell pepper mix, cilantro, and lime juice.
