This one is fantastic--a keeper. I make it with boneless thighs.

I made this into wraps and added black beans. Really good! Very summery. Love them!

I made this recipe for my boyfriend the first night he came round to stay (ahem). The dinner was practically inhaled (even if I did have to do the chicken in a sandwich toaster) and the night went very well (*AHEM*). He's now my fiance :-D And, as a point, I've made the salsa independant of the meal and bottled it in the fridge, keeping it on hand for impromtu 'romantic nights' in a hurry, and have served it with chicken and pasta/rice/couscous and have also blended it to within an inch of solidarity and used it as a dip and garnish with great results.
