  1. I have been using a very similar recipe for many years, the main difference being 1/2 cup of orange marmalade instead of the 1/4 cup called for in this recipe. My recipe calls for 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, I prefer the 1/2 teaspoon as called for in this recipe. Spicy and very tasty, a very good blend of flavors.
     
  2. This was good for what it is, a quick chicken dish to serve with rice. Nothing awesome or exotic, but tasty. If I make it again, I think I will double the lime juice, since I thought it got lost, even though I squeezed a lime wedge over my plate at serving. Unlike Karmen, I did not find the sauce too watery -- she's probably right that it depends on your salsa. Overall -- a nice quick sauce, Tina!
     
  3. As I was putting this recipe together, I was a little concerned as I smelled all of the ingredients together, but the final product was pretty tasty. I will make this again. I had to use a little cornstarch and water (1 tsp. of each) to thicken the sauce at the end. I think the salsa I used (Newman's Own) may have been a little thin compared to Old El Paso, but it is my favorite. Also, I would go with 1/4 tsp. of allspice. I used 1/2 tsp., and it stood out a little too much in the dish.
     
  4. Delicious! The orange marmalade adds a sweet touch... goes perfect with the salsa. Thanks for posting.

I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls ages 16,14, and 12...My 16 year old has acted like she was 30 since she was 2, and strongwilled as well...so life is never dull around here. I love surfing the web and taking care of my children. If I had a month off I would take my kids to as many vacation spots as I could and enjoy our time together. Since my children are younger, I could use kid friendly recipes and delicious casserole dishes that I can make for me when I have to cater to their favorite foods. Recipezaar has inspired me to be interested in cooking and sharing recipes! Thanks My Pet Peeves~Don't Touch My Hair Or Feet!
