Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
2 jalapeno chiles
24 scallions
3 cups blueberries (about 1 pound), picked over and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (2 to 3 limes)

Meanwhile, grill scallions, turning often, until soft and charred in spots, 3 to 4 minutes; set aside.

  • Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the cayenne. Grill chicken until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place 4 grilled scallions on each plate, and top with chicken. Serve immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of blueberry salsa. Garnish with basil and cilantro leaves.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out tough and the salsa was too spicy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is okay, but I've had better. The chicken was a bit dry and the salsa was just average.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out perfectly. The salsa was also very good, but I think I would add a little more lime juice next time.
