Very easy to make. I didn't think processing the cilantro into the salsa made a noticable difference in the taste, so I'll just use salsa and zest and chopped onion to marinate the chicken next time. Very good dish for summer; will try it on the grill. Very reminiscent of meals in South Beach Miami.
