Basil Chicken Spirals with Mango Salsa image

I love this recipe! It is one of my favorites to wow a crowd. Most of its wow factor comes from all the fresh ingredients. I always pick up fresh herbs, garlic, cucumbers, and hot peppers-as well as honey and onions when I can- at my local farmers market. All those ingredients give this dish a punch of flavor. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota
