Barbequed Chili Chicken with Homemade Salsa and Baked Pita Chips
I wish I had taken my own picture of this one. But I like to think my chili chicken looked like this.
I was glowing with pride when I presented this dinner to my family last night. With the exception of the olive oil, vinegar, and some of the spices, everything I used in this meal was local (as local as possible).
The recipes for the chili chicken and the salsa are from the Eat-Clean Diet. I definitely don’t get all or even most of my recipes from there, but I am finding it’s nice to have a compilation of recipes that I know include only whole, healthy ingredients. And if I want to cheat and add some not-so-healthy twists, at least that’s my choice.
I served the salsa with Mrs. Palmers Pantry baked pita chips, from Cranbrook BC. They’re tasty, but next time I’ll just make my own.
The chicken was from Lepps Farms, so I know it was raised locally and ethically, without antibiotics, and veggie-fed.
The veggies for the salsa were all bought at Lepps Farm Market (I was about to buy the imported garlic, when a Lepps employee tipped me off to the local elephant garlic…more expensive but worth it.).

Just a note for anyone reading this now…I’ve made this chicken several times and it’s fabulous. Such an easy, delicious marinade!
