I love this recipe! It's so simple to make and always turns out great. I usually use a jarred salsa, but I've also made my own and it's just as good.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The salsa was also very good, with just the right amount of heat.
