Thank -you, Ruth for a wonderful recipe. The salsa is so good! I followed the recipe, ingredient wise completely, using fresh herbs from my garden. The only thing I did wrong was marinated the chicken too long (about 4 hours) I will do as the recipe recommends next time. I served it with grilled pattypan squash( olive oil,garlic, salt,pepper) 5 min. each side and grilled italian bread with that salsa! Yum06/29/10

Very good! Entire picky family enjoyed this meal.
I did use a few jar spices instead of the fresh as suggested since I had a difficult time finding them all fresh.
