     My husband and I loved it! I marinaded the chicken overnight and it had great flavor on its own. The fresh salsa was amazing - I can't wait to eat the leftovers. Thanks Chef Meg!! - 9/17/09

     Really good, but I was given a suggestion to use Woostershire Sauce rather than Soy Sauce. Might cut the Sodium. - 9/12/09

     This is my second round with this recipe, but this round I changed out the chicken for shrimp. I left the shells on the shrimp, washed them really good. Marinated them a day, and grilled them the next day. Add the salsa, some dirty rice, and a grilled veggie of your choice, I did Asparagus. - 12/10/09

     Mmm, this was great! I made my salsa with a red jalepeno, left out the cilantro, and it had a really nice kick. Next time I'll let the chicken marinate for a few hours, but this was a big hit! I'm excited for my leftovers at lunch today :) We served with brown rice and a side of broccoli. - 1/12/10

     Thought this was great! It does make more salsa than you need so i would recommend doubling the amount of chicken or cutting the salsa ingredients in half, but the salsa is great, you could even put it on a salad. - 2/4/10

     To the person looking for a sub for mangos, you might try peaches. They have similar texture & taste. - 5/20/10

     Tried the chicken. I think it needed to be marinated longer. The salsa was delicious. It would be great to have some suggetions on what else to serve with the dish. - 8/24/09

     The meal was good. After reading some of the reviews, I let mine sit marinade and it had enough flavor for my liking. The salsa was a great compliment to the marinade. - 1/7/10

     My husband loved it, and I did, too. I was careful to grill the chicken breasts until not quite cooked through, then let them finish cooking wrapped in foil. They stayed very moist. - 11/18/09
  • JACQUEBB
     Good stuff, I will make again. I made half the salsa without cilantro, onions and jalapeno. I like both my husband didn't like the onions. I marinated the chicken for 3 hours and it had lots of flavor. - 9/21/09

     YUM! Grilled the chicken on my George Foreman Grill and served over brown rice! The Mango Salsa was SOOOOO GOOD! - 1/26/10

     Yummy, Yummy I just love fruit. So when I can have a main dish with it as a main ingredient I'm in heaven. It was a very easy recipe to make and my who family really enjoyed it. It especially nice as a summer meal. - 7/31/09

     I cut mine in chunks and made kebobs. Next time I'll reserve some of the sauce from the marinade to use as a dipping sauce (before putting the chicken in it). I did marinate it over night too. Quick and easy to make. - 5/12/10

     My whole family loved this even my picky husband. He loved the salsa so much he started asking what else could we put it on. This is from a man who doesn't like much fruit or veggies!! - 3/10/10
  • SMALLERSHEEP
     My husband loved it! Next time will heat the salsa a bit. Divided the red pepper flakes between the marinade and the salsa. Delicious! Will make again! - 2/24/10

     I saw a recipe similar to this today on the food network with Guy but hallowed out the pineapple and used the pineapple from it and cooked shrimp to go in the pineapple boats and poured the salsa over the shrimp looked wonderful. - 1/3/10
  • TIMELADY23
     I make a similar dish with swordfish. I serve it with coconut brown jasmine rice and assorted grilled veggies. LOVE the fruit salsa! Also think it would work well with jicima salad. - 6/22/10
