Salsa Chicken

Adapted from an internet recipe.

I found this recipe on the internet in 2015, just got around to making 10 years later, and it is delicious! Very easy to put together. The result is flavorful, tender and juicy chicken that easily cuts with a fork. Links to the Shortcuts are listed in the Notes section.
