Very good-used 1 container of honey greek yogurt mixed with 1 container of vanilla yogurt-marinated the chicken overnight. For the salsa-used cilantro and 1 jalapeno pepper instead of the parsley. The family loved it-will make again.

This chicken had NO FLAVOR. The marinade was totally pointless. However the salsa was delicious... but only because we decided to grill our own fresh pineapple and red pepper and then dice them for the salsa. We also used cilantro instead of parsley for a more southwest taste. I'd say make the salsa but simply salt & pepper the chicken and grill it that way. Sorry, just not one of our favorites.
