CEiMB - Chicken with Warm Tomato Corn Salsa
Loved this. So light and delicious. And healthy. And easy to prepare.
I made one change and used regular tomatoes instead of the grape tomatoes it called for simply because I had regular ones from my garden. And I grilled the chicken instead of pan frying.
But all in all, it's a great dish for a weeknight dinner when you are running short on time. I highly recommend it.
