This easy, light, one-dish meal is sure to be your new weeknight staple.  The refreshing tropical salsa goes well with most chicken and fish dishes but it is especially delicious paired with thinly pounded grilled chicken breasts.  To save time, have your butcher pound the chicken for you.  Enjoy!IMG_4675
