The flavors in the salsa just didn't mesh. The chicken would have probably been better if it had been marinading overnight. I don't think I'd make this again. Read More

I really liked the relish it was delicious! However the spices didn't permeate our chicken as much as I'd hoped for. We marinated for a couple of hours but perhaps overnight would be better. Read More

EXCELLENT! I used thin sliced breasts so that we could put em' on a bun topped with the relish. SOOOO good and not to mention low cal. I used the extra relish on brats the next day & it was equally as good. Good recipe thanks Fiona!! Read More

This is the first recipe I tried from this website and now I am hooked! I grilled the chicken on my Weber and it was so juicy and tender. The cucumber relish added a fresh crunchy zest to the dish. A definate "keeper"! Read More
