Fiesta Chicken

I was feeling lazy and didn't want to cook dinner but there were four chicken breasts that had to get eaten. I needed an easy chicken recipe so I checked my fridge and threw something together. I had about a cup of smokey chipotle salsa that I wanted to use up as well. If I could simmer pork in salsa to make carnitas, I figured I could do that with chicken, too. This dish was super easy and tasted great!

I made a really nice mixed green salad and topped it with sliced Fiesta Chicken.

Hubby ate his chicken in a quesadilla.

This was yummy! 

I made *grilled chicken burritos for the boys.
