I know summer has arrived when I make this grilled chicken dish with all its fresh ingredients. The colorful salsa is bursting with zesty flavor. —Julie Simpson, North Aurora, Illinois

Delicious! We omitted the cilantro & jalapeno since we don't care for either. Very fresh & tasty.

Simple, great tasting grilled chicken recipe. Will look at cutting the salsa by 1/2 next time. Had plenty leftover.

My family loved it. I'm making it again tomorrow for my "significant other". This could very well be a "well used" recipe.

My mom who is very much the meat-and-potatoes type is still, the next day, telling everyone how good it was, and my sister sat there at the table and finished off all the salsa. PS Mom is 97 and doesn't normally like what she refers to as fancy food.

This really is a very good Dinner, be it for Family or Friends. Easy to fix, family/friends can easily 'pitch in' and help with the 'fix-ins.' Pot Luck Dinner? Ohhh Sooo Yes.
