Wow! This is a lot of fun and the flavors are completely unexpected. I substituted turkey for chicken and strawberries in place of the grapes. This is a recipe you can play with the ingredients a bit and have it still taste terrific. Thank you for sharing! Reviewed for A Day in Bargain Basement 2011.
