I used spicy salsa and that made it extra spicy. I also deleted the chili powder as the salsa was spicy. It was very juicy and tender! -
PAC 2010 recipe I chose. And what a wonderful choice I made. I used strawberry jam as that is what I had on hand. -
We grill a lot of chicken and boy did we love this recipe! I used medium salsa to give it just a little bite. I was intrigued by the idea of using strawberry preserves so that's what I used and it was terrific. This recipe produced some great, tender and flavorful chicken - thanks for sharing it! Made for Fall PAC 2009 -
Wow! Easy to prepare with great flavor and low cal also. We like to use the leftovers in a salad the next day for lunch. We just add lettuce, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, the chicken and some southwest ranch dressing. Delicious!
