It certainly doesn't get any easier than this quick, yummy chicken dish. We really loved the sweet/ spicy combination of the sauce, and I loved that it goes together so quickly in one pan. There was only two of us eating so I halved the recipe with great results. I used a "medium" salsa instead of the mild because we like a little more spice. Also, because we are not eating much rice these days, I served this over cooked barley. Yummy! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!<br/>**Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game**
