Should you really wash the breast? I have been told that it's a good way to cause a bacteria problem. Even rinsing the chicken is harmful. Just pat to dry is sufficient. -
400 ML is what U..S. equivalent? -
Covered or uncovered -
Did you use skinless, boneless chicken breasts?

Hi Clara12; Such a simple recipe to make and it has that nice Salsa/Creamy combination taste. I also love experimenting to make various kinds of chicken recipes. I am recipe developer, author, publisher, distributor, promoter and the ladies gave me a title, "BSG" "Uncle Bill" -
This was so QUICK and EASY and GOOD! I cut my chicken into smaller pieces(in half)The chicken came out nice and tender, could cut it with a fork. I used "medium" heat fiesta style salsa and it was just right for those who dont like alot of "heat". I will use "hot" salsa though when its just for me and DH. I cooked up some plain minute rice mixed with some black beans and the sauce was great over it. This is a great QUICKFIX meal when you don't feel like spending time in the kithen. -
This was soooo good!! The sauce was delicious! I used 2c. of mild salsa & 2c. of heavy cream, used 2T. of corn starch to thicken sauce. Served on top of rigatoni pasta. Will make again, thanks for the recipe!

Made it on the stove top by browning the chicken first, adding the salsa and cream, and letting it simmer briskly till the sauce was thick. Very easy. Added a couple teaspoons of dry boullion which brought out the flavors nicely. Also used mango-peach salsa. Dee-lish. -
Awesome recipe and so easy to make. I used chicken parts instead and only used 1 cup each of salsa (Pace medium) and heavy cream. Had to add a little cornstarch towards the end as the sauce was a little thin for me. A definate keeper. Thanks.

Wow, yummy! I was a little bored with chicken so chose to cook feta instead. I prepared my own salsa - for a first time, btw:) - dish was divine!!

I'm giving this 5 stars for 2 different families! I made this but used Hunts diced tomatoes instead of salsa because I have a 5 year old who doesn't like peppers of any kind or spicy foods. I also sprinkled the chicken with alot of garlic powder before I put it in the sauce and added a tablespoon or 2 of dried parsley to the sauce. I served it over spiral pasta with a bunch of romano cheese sprinkled on top and my family LOVED this. It was really great and my goodness, what could be easier?!?! My sauce was NOT too thin- it was perfect to put over pasta or rice and my cooking time was 1 hour. My best friend made this exactly as written and her VERY PICKY husband and 3 grown sons loved this and they all gave it 5 stars. She's going to dredge the chicken in bread crumbs next time because she thinks that will be even better! Thank you, Clara12 for a super easy, delicious recipe! We all loved it. Update: I made this again and OMG it is the easiest best chicken EVER. Try it, you'll love it. -
This was terrific! I used chicken legs and thighs and doubled the sauce. I used salsa from Frontera (can't remember which one) because I only had a tiny bit of Frontera Chipotle Salsa left in the fridge. I do wish I had made it spicier but our DD hates spicy things. I'm working on her but she's only 11. I also substituted a bit of the cream for some sour cream because others said the sauce was a little thin. But what it lacked in creaminess it more than made up for in flavor.I served it with texmati rice and garnished it with a dollop of sour cream,chopped cilantro, and some of the chipotle salsa from my fridge.I can see where pasta would be very tasty as well.My husband thinks this is one of the best and we wouldn't think twice about serving this to friends or putting it together on a busy weeknight. Thanx Clara for a new favorite in our family!
