this was fantastic i loved the salsa but didn't put any heat in it (red pepper flakes or chilpote pepper)next time i will.

A delicious way to spruce up grilled chicken breasts. I actually let this marinate overnight, and also let the salsa sit overnight also. It was delicious. Thank you.

The chicken was good, but I really enjoyed the salsa. It was quick and easy. Next time I think I will add more chipotle. Thanks for sharing!
