GRILLED ISLAND CHICKEN WITH TROPICAL SALSA

Top with Tropical Salsa and garnish with lime wedge and cilantro sprig.

Tropical Salsa:
¼ cup chopped red onion 1 Tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno
½ cup chopped tomato, seeded ½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup chopped yellow pepper 1 Tablespoon honey
Combine all ingredients and chill 2 to 3 hours. Serve over Island Chicken.

State and national BBQ champion, Lee Ann Whippen, showed The 700
Club’s hosts and audience how to put on an amazing summertime
barbecue spread. Whippen, owner of Wood Chicks BBQ in Chesapeake,
Virginia, is known for her tender and flavorful barbecue which has earned
her some major bragging rights! She beat Food Network’s Bobby Flay in a
“pulled pork throwdown” in a Season 4 episode and Whippen was also an
award-winner on TLC’s Pitmaster. But don’t just take our word for it—try
some for yourself!

Worth a try, Roger. It's just a marinade. You soak the chicken for 2 hours, and throw the liquid out.
Have not tried it yet. Not sure if regular FF milk will do the same thing as the coconut milk.
