Made this tonight for DH's birthday dinner, along with black beans, and he loved it! I used hot Arriba! roasted salsa with chipotle peppers, and boy, was it nice and zingy! I had two boneless skinless chicken breasts and two legs with skin and bones, so I browned the legs and cooked them separately for about 20 minutes, then browned the chicken breasts, then baked them as directed. Delicious! Loved how the vinegar, brown sugar, and dijon mustard really added a depth of flavor to the sauce. Thanks, Denise, for a lovely birthday dinner!

Juicy, tender, and a great flavor is how these turned out. I put 3 whole skinless chicken breast in the pan and there was plenty of salsa mix for all three. I did have to bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes total. You really need to try this recipe because it is so FAST to put together.

Made it tonight, loved the mixture of salsa and brown sugar, just really well, everyone said they loved it. I have a bigger family than the serving size so I made more chicken, I would cook the chicken for an hour and it was moist and very good. Totally recommend the recipe.
