Surprising Chicken Stir-Fry

Submitted by Kiki Freebird

"We bought a new kind of salsa (Newman's Own Peach Salsa) to try out. It wasn't bad, but when you're expecting salsa and chips, you're NOT expecting it to be sweet! So then it was up to me to figure out what to do with the rest of the jar. This is what I came up with. And SURPRISE!! It was yummy! :-)"

This was so easy and quite a delicious dish in the end. I omitted the canned tomatoes and just doubled the salsa (as I thought it would be more flavorful). And it was a fantastic one-dish meal. Made for Bargain Basement tag game.
