Hoisin BBQ Chicken with Tropical Salsa
Summer entertaining is here. Since I am not a meat eater, I am always looking for new ways to cook chicken. This Hoisin BBQ chicken with Tropical Salsa is one of the new ways I am cooking it this summer. The hoisin sauce is sweet yet spicy. The salsa has pineapple, mango, strawberries and red pepper. This one has just a hint of ginger but you could add cilantro or mint if you want to.
They are both easy recipes, one bowl each. Just a bit of chopping and stirring. You can make both earlier in the day, the Hoisin BBQ sauce could be made the day ahead.
I had thinly sliced chicken breasts on hand so I ended up skewering them. You could just cook whole breasts. The salsa would be great on fish too.
