Adjust the amount of jalapeño pepper to suit your spice preference. If you're sensitive to heat, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
Feel free to substitute grilled shrimp or fish for the chicken.
Make the dressing and salsa a day ahead for even more flavor development.
If you don't have a grill, you can pan-fry the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat.
