The fruit salsa is so good, I've made it three times. I purchase frozen fruit at Sam's Store, which come with pineapple and strawberries in addition to the peaches and mango. I use some of all the fruits, along with red onion. It is so colorful and tasty. The chicken is delicious and they go together perfectly. Thank you Sandra Lee.

This recipe was so good! The spicy chicken coupled with the sweet salsa is like Heaven. I read a previous review that said add red onion, which I love. I added the onion, diced a tomatoe, and omitted the jalapeño. It turned out perfect. I definitely recommend this quick and easy recipe for a busy weeknight.

I made this recipe and it was absolutely awesome. I didn't know how well the peach mango salsa was going to go over with my husband but he actually liked it (which is saying something because he is not very open to new foods. The cilantro works very well with the lime to create a light summery salsa taste. At the suggestion of another reviewer I added about half of a medium size red onion to the salsa and it tasted just perfect. The chicken was flavorful as well. This is definitely a keeper and something I will continue to make. Thank you for the recipe
