Salsa Chicken

Recipe #27475 | 50 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: ngibsonn

Someone gave me this recipe a few years back and it's become a household favorite. You can use mild, medium or hot salsa depending on your taste. I usually serve it with Spanish rice and Mexican-style canned corn. Very easy and quick!

    ngibsonn, this is one EASY, YUMMY recipe. I used skinless, boneless thighs bc the butcher was out of breasts. I followed the recipe exactly. What flavor! I served this tasty chicken with Spanish rice with black beans and Mixican corn. What a YUMMY easy Mexican night! Much better than going to eat out when you have that south of the border taste. Thanks!

    How easy was that? My butcher gets freakishly large chickens, so one breast-half was MORE than enough for the two of us. I sliced it against the grain, and fanned it over spanish rice. I did cook two, so the other one I will use in wraps or burritos tonight. Really moist, flavourful chicken, thanks!

    I've made this recipe before from another site. Very yummy! A little too spicy for my family but I really liked it.
