So good yet so simple to make!

This salsa recipe is outstanding. Only triple the amount because it is definately the star of this recipe. I substitute high quality  frozen corn for the roasted corn, and since we aren’t hot sauce people, i use just a pinch of cayenne pepper instead. I have made it with chicken, but now that we are doing mostly vegan, I substitute  chickpeas for the chicken. I even soak them in them  in 1/4 cup  lemon juice. Great served on greens. One of my go to recipes!

Cover chicken with disposable aluminum cake pan when cooking and chicken will stay moist. (remember, it also cooks a little faster, also

I liked this dish and will make it again. I made two mistakes: a left the chicken on the grill a little too long so it was a bit dry and overcooked; b I used three ears of corn, but didn’t alter the lemon juice enough to counter the added ingredients…so the salsa was a little dry.

It sounds like a really screwed up, doesn’t it? Well, it was really good, and I know I’ll do better next time.

i made this for my family and they absolutely loved it! i don’t believe that the lemon juice added much flavor to the chicken when it was on the grill but the salsa/relish was wonderful…very nice spices:)

I was looking for a recipe to make a great piece of grilled chicken breast, and this was very good. I liked that the instructions were plain and simple, no fancy words or comlicated rituals just to get the chicken seaoned! DELICIOUS!

the salsa was wonderful, you can make it as spicey as you want and is a unique take on the plain old salsa.
