Heat the grill (broiler) and put the chicken on a grill pan and under the grill for 18-20 minutes, turning half way through. Make sure to check the chicken is cooked through before serving.
Mix together all the salsa ingredients and then divide between the soft tacos.

When the chicken is cooked, cut in to chunks and put into tacos with the salsa.

Notes

Try to let the chicken marinate for at least an hour, as it will really allow it to absorb in to the chicken.
Make sure you don't overcook the chicken breasts, otherwise they can become dry.
You can swap the chicken breasts for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Bulk these tacos out by serving them with tortilla chips and dips and some Spanish rice.
