Salsa Chicken

Wow, just made this and it was awesome. Didn't have a lot in the pantry and I usually do a chicken and sausage with a jar of salsa in the pressure cooker but no sausage today. I used drums since that's what I had, 24 ounces of medium salsa and diet Pepsi. You can taste the sweetness of the soda and that makes this dish different. I loved it. I"m glad I used 24 ounces of salsa since I like it a little more liquid over my rice.

This an awesome way to make the lowly chicken breast. Not sweet, no fat and lots of flavour. I only made half the recipe, as there is only the 2 of us. I think next time I won't reduce the sauce so much, so we have a bit more for the rice. The lime is a nice little flavour addition. :)

We don’t drink Diet Coke, just Diet Pepsi and although the recipe said no substitutions I figured, “What the heck� and made it with a can of diet pepsi. OH MY GOODNESS. This is our new favorite recipe. I was incredibly skeptical of what the Diet Pepsi would do to the recipe, but it was great. The Salsa and the soda, made it sweet, but not too sweet. (Next time I am going to try it with just half a can so the sauce will be thicker and the sweetness could be lessened.)

My step-son and I really really liked this, hubby not so much, but he's pretty picky and hard to please. This was easy to fix, and although we didn't get our sauce to thicken up, it still tasted great over the rice. I did add the turmeric to the rice and it added a nice addition to a great recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent!! Easy, quick and amazing! While we were eating we were wondering how we could use the same method with other meats and decided....why/! Definately a keeper that will be made again and again. Thanks CindiJ! jonesy

I loved this. I was busy so I put about 1/2 C of rice in the bottom of a dish and layered the chicken, salsa and diet coke over it. Then baked it all together. It was really good. Kind of sweet like a BBQ sauce but that could have been my salsa too. All I had was a black bean and corn salsa but it worked and I'll definitely keep this on hand for an easy dinner.

Wow - this one's definitely a keeper. I made 2 small changes: 1) used bone-in chicken thighs and 2) used diet coke w/ lime. This was so good and oh so easy. I will be making this one many, many times. Thanks for posting !

This really is OUTSTANDING! I am so glad I was adventurous enough to try this recipe. I was really worried about the diet soda in this recipe but you really can't taste it at all! It just adds a sweetness and not the aftertaste kind. The chicken turns out super tender too. Thank you so much for posting. This recipe is so easy yet so good. WW's give this a shot. You will not be sorry! Thanks again, QKF

We make this a lot, probably because we always have these 3 ingredients in the house. I usually cut it in half since it's just two of us. I let the sauce boil a few minutes after I take the chicken out and let it get good and thick. We love this with corn and rice.

This was an absolutely delicious and easy recipe! It was also very easy to modify to a smaller portion. I can eat this every night!

EXELLENT!!! Had some friends over and served this over yellow rice as suggested, and it was a hit. I love how easy this is. I did brine my chicken for 2 hours first. I have found that it results in moister and more tender meat. :-) Koechin/Chef

Wonderful flavor!! Just 3 ingredients and you have a happy dance happening in your mouth. I like my food hot and spicy. I used hot salsa by "Pace". DH thought it was too hot. Next time I will use the Medium to make him happy. I used only 3/4 of the can of diet coke based on other reviews. This helped reduce the sauce mixture. After removing the lid I cooked the sauce for 10 mins on med-low and another 10 mins on med-high. I had way too many rice dishes this week so used noodles instead. Great dish! Thanks, for posting CindiJ. Update: 2/6/07 Made again and this time I used a medium salsa and DH said "This $%#*@ (stuff) is great! I, even forgot how tasty it really is. The whole time I was shoving it into my mouth (opps! sorry, that was very unlady like) while I was putting the tiny morsels into my mouth I was thinking how I had forgotten what a wonderful flavor dish was. Thanks again for posting!

This was OK, although I was not totally convinced. My husband liked it, though. I think it needs some freshness- some fresh coriander or parsley would really lift this dish. We don't have such a large jar of salsa here, our standard jars are 300g (10 1/2 oz) so I reduced the cola to just shy of 1 cup. I used 500g chopped chicken breast. I don't know if it is because our Australian salsa isn't like yours, but I had to add some salt and some chilli (salsa too mild). I also added 1/4 a red capsicum and served it over the yellow rice. I added the tiniest bit of coriander, but my plant's nearly dead so it was only about 1/2 tsp but it seemed to help. I also cooked it mostly uncovered, and the sauce thickened nicely, no need to add cornflour unless you are impatient. I think next time I'll cut down on the cola and add some stock. It made enough for 3 on the reduced amount.

It was GREAT! I made it twice this week. First was a test drive then I made it for my sister that came for a visit and whom I hadn't seen in 8 years. She loved it. And she took the recipe home with her. Very easy to make. I found that "Newmans Own All Natural Chuncky Medum Salsa" was much better then the other brand I used. Thank's for a great and easy recipe Chef Yankee

I used chicken thighs and it was super delicious. My husband said 'this recipe is a keeper.' Quick and easy and very tasty.

This was pretty good. Used Diet Coke and medium Pace salsa. I had to thicken the sauce a bit with some cornstarch, but the flavor was good and my hub had seconds! Thanks for the recipe!

Great recipe! Healthy, quick, and yummy!! I made it over brown rice and it tasted great, even when I ate the left overs for lunch the next day.

Well I made this again and it was good. I actually used the diet coke as suggested and decided that I like the taste with regular pepsi better. I did add the small amount of cornstarch again like I did the first time to get the thickness that I like. This is a very easy, quick and tasty chicken recipe.
