 I love the simplicity of this dish. Spicy and hot teamed with sweet and cold. Opposites. Simple but complex. What is more this is easy to prepare. The flavours all work so perfectly together, the spicy fragrant chicken and the sweet crunchy salsa. All you need to accompany it is an ice cold beer.

This is a great dish to cook outside when you have guests. Make the salsa up in the morning and once everyone is ready to eat, just cook the chicken on the barbecue.

It is one of only two sweetcorn dish that Mr 7 will eat! I think he is the only child (other than Mr 4) who doesn’t eat corn! He eats so many foods that traditionally aren’t child friendly. He will demolish a bowl of olives, wolf down mussels, slather seaweed caviar onto his french bread, and he adores really dark bitter chocolate. But give him vanilla ice cream and his face falls as he doesn’t like vanilla, try and feed him sweetcorn, which is hardly really a vegetable it is so sweet 😉 and he won’t eat it. The strange and ever changing tastes of children! Although I think Mr 7 is much easier to understand than Mr 4 who changes his preferences almost hourly. Last week he was trying to stick his finger into the butter dish as I made his morning toast, but come lunchtime when I put butter on his bread he said “I hate…I mean I don’t like butter. Butter is yuck” Go figure! Now neither of them eat cauliflower but that is completely understandable 😳

The salsa is great on it’s own and if I have any left over chicken or prawns I like to mix them up with some of this salsa, add a sprinkle of hot chilli and shovel it into my mouth standing at the kitchen counter, sit back and enjoy an elegant lunch.
