  1. In a large ziplock bag, combine chicken breasts, salsa, lime juice, olive oil, and pepper. Seal and mix well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  3. Slice the yellow bell pepper into strips. Toss with olive oil and salt in a bowl, then prepare for grilling.
  4. Place marinated chicken on the grill, and add the peppers in a grill basket. Grill chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
