We loved this chicken recipe an it's taste.<br/>As we don't have tacos here I prepared some fresh corn tortillas that we used as soft tacos! Mhhh! To the chicken and tortillas we added fresh prepared salsa with fresh diced tomatoes, onion chlantro and chili. We also had some Greek yogurt to serve with it.<br/>No leftovers! I don't wonder! Thanks a lot for this post!
