Publix Island Chicken with Tropical Salsa

I hope y'all are lucky enough to have Publix in your area. If you are, you know they regularly do cooking demonstrations in the store. They let you try the meal, give you the recipe including the shopping list and if that didn't make it simple enough they keep all of the items in a case right next to the demo area. The recipes are fantastic, easy to follow and healthy.

If you don't have a Publix you can access all of these great recipes online. I can browse through these at work and use their shopping list feature to print out only the ingredients I need so I can pick them up after work.

Here's a great summer lunch idea!
