I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The ancho chili powder gave the chicken a nice warmth without being too overpowering.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of the salsa and used it on tacos, burritos, and even just as a dip with tortilla chips.

The cucumber-mango salsa was so refreshing and flavorful. It was the perfect way to cool down the spicy chicken.

I loved the combination of ancho chili powder and cumin in the rub. It gave the chicken a delicious smoky flavor.
