The Verdict

We ate too much. This was so so yummy our mouths kept eating til our plates were clean. 

The chicken was so very moist. It was tender yet crunchy. The salsa brought the whole dish together with a taste explosion in my mouth. This was so easy to make. It really was done in 30 minutes including prep. And I even got the dishes washed while the chicken was still baking.

I did cut the recipe for the chicken in half but made the entire salsa recipe. I intended to save half the salsa but it was so good we ate it. This was a complete meal by itself with the fresh avocado and tomatoes.

Thank you Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice and also Hellman's
