Salsa Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Made this for DH and I using a roasted tomato salsa. It added a bit of smokiness to the dish. My sauce was thin even after a further 10 minute reduction over a higher heat (sans the chicken so it wouldn't overcook) it might depend on which salsa style you use? I didn't feel the lime was necessary, so won't use that again. Anyway, we loved the flavour and will put on rotation for sure.

    Salsa Chicken,When I was doing Weight Watchers and the boys were home, I got really tired of fixing 3 sets of meals each night. When I came upon this recipe – I just didn’t tell them this was WW and to this day they still don’t know. When the boys come home now – this is one dish they will request. Super fast & easy to fix on work nights. 4 oz. = 4 WW points (without rice) *Note – in response to some reviews that experience the sauce being too runny or thin…extend the reduction time (after removing lid). It may take another 5-10 minutes to thicken and have the consistency you desire. **Use any diet cola you like. Back when this recipe was given to me (early 1970s) Diet Coca Cola was the only Diet soda around and the scares were not out like today (2018)To this day I call any Diet Soda – Coke.,Made this for DH and I using a roasted tomato salsa. It added a bit of smokiness to the dish. My sauce was thin even after a further 10 minute reduction over a higher heat (sans the chicken so it wouldn’t overcook) it might depend on which salsa style you use? I didn’t feel the lime was necessary, so won’t use that again. Anyway, we loved the flavour and will put on rotation for sure.,has anyone made this recipe with honey instead of coke?

    Do not Use Regular Coke as This Will Turn Out Too Sweet.
