EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated. Making it ahead will actually allow the flavors to blend.

If you're using a charcoal grill, plan on about 40 minutes to prep the grill and heat charcoal to the correct temperature. Gas and electric grills will take about 10 minutes.

Serve this fruity chicken dish with steamed broccoli, sliced garden-fresh tomatoes and seasoned rice.

Tried this recipe last night for my family...was really good, but wasn't sure about the mint flavor--thought some other herb might have been better--but all in all will probably make it again and change the seasonings a bit...

My husband loved it, going back for THIRDS! I made the salsa in the afternoon and marinated the chicken in the preserves. Then when my husband got home from work, I set it the salsa on the counter while I grilled the chicken, so it would be closer to room temperature. It was easy and really good! Definitely a success in my home!
