Arizona Chicken

Submitted by Judith N.

"From Busycooks.About.com. Very good recipe. Quick and easy. I always double the amount of salsa, simply because we like salsa and it just adds to the recipe in taste alone."

This chicken is so simple and good. My husband wanted to make something special to suprise me for dinner and came accross this. He made no changes to this recipe. It has such a good flavor! We will be having this again soon- thanks so much for sharing.

Not a wow factor for us, but still plenty good and enjoyable. Will definitely make again. I didn't pound my chicken breast, either, and I'm with another post to try it with a different salsa. I highly recommend you use a salsa you know you like that fits your tastes. I reheated the leftovers the next night and it was still good. Easy, too! Thanks for sharing.

This was very simple to put together, and tasted good. I didn't pound the chicken first, so I covered it for part of the final cooking time, and it turned out beautifully. We weren't wowed by the flavor, but I think a change of salsas could be the key.

Super easy to make and very tasty. Even my picky 8 yr old loved it.
