I clipped this from the March Bon Appetit issue and decided to try it a few nights ago. We really liked the salsa and would definitely make it again. I used 1 1/2 Tb fresh jalapeno chopped and Dijon mustard since we dont ever have yellow mustard on hand. We thought the chicken came out a little bit dry. Next time, we might try grilling the chicken and topping with the salsa. Thanks!

This was pretty disappointing. The glaze was way too similar to the one I usually use for ham, and my family and I just couldn't accept it on chicken. We had mixed feelings over the "salsa" as well. My DH didn't like it at all, while my DD and I liked it well enough. I probably won't make either again though.
