  1. Substituted a Mango chutney for the salsa and it was excellent. A meat thermometer is a must since the cooking time will vary significantly based on the thickness of the breast.

  2. To cook the chicken breast on the plank indirectly at 325F is definitely not hot enough. I followed the direction and ended throwing the chicken onto direct heat and cooked for another 15 minutes. The fruit salsa is pretty tasty.
