I'm not really sure how to rate this dish. I made it as suggested and found the salsa a bit flat and not really to my tastes. That said, it was a nice contrast to the heat of the cayenne and pepper on the chicken. (Not a fruit and meat issue as I like mixing sweet with savory and/or spicy.) I had quite a bit leftover and added a little grated ginger and some red pepper flakes. After sitting in the fridge a few hours and served with grilled pork chops the next evening, it was pretty good. If you have time, made the salsa in advance -- it is well worth it. Thank you Marie for introducing me to thsi combination. I will certainly tinker and make it agian.
