This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some fried chicken in the fridge, and this was the perfect way to use it up. The salsa was also a great way to use up some fresh tomatoes and tomatillos from my garden.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the tomatillo-tomato salsa, but it was actually really good! It had a nice smoky flavor from the grilled tomatoes, and the tomatillos added a bit of tartness. I'll definitely be making this salsa again.
