A delicious one-dish meal that we thoroughly enjoyed! I used a 340 g jar of medium salsa and fresh garlic instead of powder. Next time I'll also add a touch of seasoning to the chicken when browning it. Thank you for a lovely recipe!

Extremely easy to prepare. And delicious. Instead of garlic powder I used fresh garlic gloves. I did put 3 of those. Next time I am planning to add also some fresh tomato slices.

My daughter made this for dinner last night and really liked it. I had the leftovers today and they were great. She said it was easy to make and very tasty!

I made the recipe without the jalapenos, because I have young children, and just now I noticed that I left the cilantro in the fridge...grrr... I was a bit surprised that this meal doesn't have a whole lot of flavor. Next time I'll not forget the cilantro, add maybe add some salsa during step 6.
