Grilled Chicken With Black Bean - Corn Salsa

Submitted by Kristi

"I'm pretty sure I found this one in a fitness magazine of some sort. This one is wonderful in the summer time. Very very tasty. One of my favorites! The salsa mixture for on top of the chicken is one of the best I've ever tasted. Worth making just to eat with chips. A pretty healthy meal too since it came from a fitness magazine. Enjoy!"
