Simple: you marinade the chicken in tomato sauce and chili powder then grill it. While it is grilling you mix the fruit salsa: can of pineapple, can of diced tomatoes and a can of mandarin oranges. We added jasmine rice to round out the meal. Not a big deal but it was okay flavor-wise. Nothing to write home (or a blog) about.
However, the next day we made JAMBALYA. NOT IN THE BOOK! I was at the farmer's market and they had nice farm-fresh tomatoes onions and green peppers and we had some excellent sausage in the freezer we wanted to use. Here's how. Grill the sausage (I smoked it over apple wood!). Also grill the tomatoes, onions and green peppers. Go to the stove -- Chop the onion and green pepper and cook in hot oil. Add rice and the chunked up sausage. When it is all well-coated with oil, puree the tomatoes and add them to the pot along with a cup of chicken broth. A bit of hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender. EAT. GOSH it was great. I've made JAMBALAYA before but never grilled the meat and veggies.
