One of those people who think they can blog , do it once and vanish to never be heard from again.
Well I am here to change that! I don't want to be a one hit wonder. I think I have it in me to be more than just that. I am going to stop using the excuse of having lost my camera cord and that no one wants to see pictures I have taken with my iPod. I mean this blog is not called "Champion Photographer Bakes". So for now we have to agree that photos from my iPod are acceptable. Ok? At least until I convince my husband that a nice camera is a wise investment. And I am not going to hold my breath on that one so thank goodness we came to this agreement!
Ok so enough about my forgetfulness on where I place things and on to something much better!
Summer is coming and if you are like me you hate to heat up the house with the oven. But a hot house could be better than eating grilled chicken for the 5th time in 6 days. I mean you could just sit outside all night after you cook. How about a little compromise? Cook the chicken on the grill and then add something to it to make it stand out from the past five nights. Sounds easy enough right? Well it is!
How about Mango Salsa Grilled Chicken? I know I know it may take a bit of convincing...it did in my house!
Mango Salsa
1 ripe Mango
1 Tomato
1 Onion (Vadilla is pictured above but I often use red onion for more color)
1 clove garlic
It is as simple as chopping up the amount of ingredients that you want. I try and make it all even so if I do a half cup of chopped Mango then I follow suit for the onion and the tomato.(this is one of those preference recipes. You can have what ever ratio of ingredients you want) I then press one clove garlic and mix it in.
I try to cut these up in the morning and let the flavors marinade together throughout the day, but if you are just as forgetful as I am, not worries. I have made it while I am cooking the chicken as well.
So cook your chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts on the grill. Take them off and plate them up. Then add your salsa on top of the chicken. Easy and fast!
This is a very versatile recipe. Not having chicken tonight? No worries. It is Taco Tuesday after all. What? Your sick of the same ol' beef taco. How about using ground turkey or chicken and instead of topping it with cheese and lettuce...how about using this salsa? This salsa is a favorite taco topping in this house and shhh don't tell my kids they are getting in an extra serving of fruit.
