I love recipes that require little prep time because they are perfect for those busy days when you have a lot to do, but still want a homemade meal. This salsa chicken recipe is so simple, but tastes amazing! And it’s one of the recipes I make with a super short prep time.
I enjoy Mexican food a lot. But some days I don’t want tacos, but still want something with amazing Mexican flavor. And it only has four ingredients. Did I mention how simple this recipe is? I have been making this recipe using homemade taco seasoning mix, but your favorite store-bought variety will work just as well. I usually use organic store-bought salsa for this recipe. I’m not sure how well homemade would work with it, but if you’re brave, give it a try!
I love to pair this salsa chicken with some Mexican yellow rice, refried beans, or a nice salad.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free…as long as the taco seasoning mix you use is as well. Many brands are not!
I keep this recipe in my regular meal rotation because it’s so easy and tastes so good!
