Grilled Chicken with Mango-Pineapple Salsa
Suggested serving with Chateau Faire Le Pont's Viognier

Notes:
This dish pairs really well with Chateau Faire Le Pont Winery's Viognier, which has fresh tropical fruit and citrus aromas and flavors with hints of cinnamon and all-spice. Enticing honey, white peach, orange blossom and melon turns to apricot and fig on the long delicious finish. Cheers! Jan Lutz - Executive Director

Salsa:
2/3 Cup diced peeled ripe mango (1 medium)
2/3 Cup diced fresh pineapple
2 Tablespoons minced red onion
1 Tablespoon minced seeded jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 Teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 Teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/8 Teaspoons salt
1/8 Teaspoons fresh ground pepper

dash of crush red peppers

1. To prepare salsa, combine first 8 ingredients.Cover; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. To prepare chicken, combine pineapple juice and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a zip lock bag. Add chicken to bag;seal. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

4. Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Place chicken on a grill rackcoated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes per side or until done.

I've baked this chicken in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, or until chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. For a time-saver, you can substitute Costco's Mango-Peachsalsa.
