As I was transferring this recipe from the old site to her, I really got a craving for this recipe. Is Becca a member here under a different name? Has anyone else tried this recipe? Wondering how well it turned out?

Jamaican Chicken with Mango Salsa
I made this Saturday and again Sunday to use up the salsa (there were only two of us). Very good! Will make often!! From Cooking Light, April 2005
1/2 teaspoon Jamaican jerk seasoning (such as Spice Islands)
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves Cooking spray
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (16-ounce) jar sliced peeled mango, drained and chopped
Directions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of salt evenly over chicken. Coat chicken with cooking spray . Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.
What I did: Pounded the chicken to a more uniform thickness; used Spice Islands' brand Jamaican Jerk seasoning; used canned mango (couldn't find jarred); and, because I didn't read the instructions carefully, I coated the pan, not the chicken with cooking spray.
While chicken cooks, combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, cilantro, and remaining ingredients. Serve salsa with chicken.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and about 1/2 cup salsa)
