    I love this dish! Found the recipe in a Fitness magazine years ago -- my boyfriend & I make it all the time! We use grapeseed oil instead of canola & tenders instead of breasts (cheaper & cook faster). Also try adding 1/4 mango, diced, to salsa. - 2/27/11

    This was delicious! I'd add a jalapeņo to the salsa and definitely grill the chicken. - 6/23/14
