Directions
Island Mojito Chicken and Rice With Salsa Tropicale,Delicious mojito chicken surrounded by an ocean of tasty rice and topped with a fresh salsa. This is a long recipe with lots of ingredients but it makes an entire meal that will please both company and family. I hope you enjoy this creation I made for RSC8.,Great meal to make earlier in the day and then just cook later. I tasted the salsa made as directed except the balsamic and it is VERY good but I had bits of mango and pineapple that needed used so added them. Very good addition and then I added a splash of ginger beer ( non alchoilic) WOW after this set for awhile the flavour was awesome. Made for Family picks ZWT 5 for team Zaar Chow Hounds
