I loved this so much I ate the salsa the next day as a side and shared it with my coworkers. Delicious. The combination of pineapple, corn and peppers provided a unique flavor to the dish. Highly recommended.

The Nutritional Information is WAY off

 I was about to make this for dinner and I followed the recipe perfectly and I just punched in all of the ingredients into my calorie tracker app and the nutritional information listed is completely different.For 1 servings it is NOT 242 calories. It's actually 425. That is a huge difference. I'm getting so sick of trusting people's recipe's and what they list for calories and nutritional information and it's completely off. When so many of us are calorie counting and trying to lose weight, things like this really sets us back. 

Very good

The chicken was pretty good and easy to make, the relish was excellent. I made extra relish and ate it the next day with chips.

I accidentally forgot to use the vinegar and the red onions (too busy on the phone running my mouth). The meal was tasty. I served it with Uncle Ben's Roasted Chicken Rice and some frozen sweet peas. I even enjoyed the leftover relish by itself.
