Baked Salsa Chicken

Submitted by BeccaReb

"This is a quick and easy recipe. It's a nice alternative to the baked chicken dishes that use creamy soups. This is healthier with all fresh ingredients. At my house, we use organic local farm grown veggies and this is a great way to use ripe veggies. We also use grass fed chicken to make it that much healthier! Just make your favorite salsa, spoon it over rice, chicken and broth... Bake... YUMMY!!!"
