Grilled chicken with salsa sauce

次のページで日本語で説明しています(*˘︶˘♡)｡.:*☆

Chicken salsa（チキンサルサ）

Savory grilled chicken thighs topped with a spicy yet refreshing salsa sauce.

In Japan, salsa is generally made by frying and simmering canned tomatoes and onions.In contrast, this recipe only requires chopping and mixing fresh vegetables.

This salsa goes well with white fish and tacos. I like coriander, so I sometimes use it instead of parsley. However, some people don’t like coriander, so this recipe is perfect for them too.

The key ingredients that make it delicious are avocado and Tabasco.

The rich fat and sweetness of avocado and the spiciness and sourness of Tabasco are essential to this recipe.

(Since jalapenos are difficult to find in Japanese supermarkets, Tabasco is the only spiciness used. If you can get jalapenos, adding them will surely make it even more delicious.)

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。 レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。 日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。 圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。 日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。 よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
