2 kiwi fruit peeled and diced
1/2 tsp salt(play with this one, you might find that you don't need it at all)
2 T vegetable, or olive oil
1/4 water
2 large breasts of chicken cut in half
Add all of the above items, except for the chicken to a food processor.  Blend well. 
Pour over the chicken and marinate for at least one hour.  Can be marinated overnight.

Preheat Grill to Medium Heat.  Cook until chicken is done.

Low Country Corn and Red Potatoes
12-16 small red potatoes
3 large ears of corn cut in half
1 package of Goya Ham Seasoning

Clean red potatoes and set them aside.  Get a large stock pot and fill will 2 quarts of water.  Bring water to a rolling boil.
Add both the red potatoes and corn to the boiling water and allow them to cook for about 20 minutes, then turn down heat to a simmer until serving time.
My hubby might want a Red Stripe with this, huh?
