4–6 pieces chicken (remove skin)
1 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Place the chicken in a baking dish.

  4. Bake the chicken for about 45 minutes or until done. (If you are using leftover chicken, shred the chicken, add the salsa and cook until warmed through.)

This chicken recipe is great over rice.

Notes

It is OK to use leftover chicken with this recipe instead of raw chicken. When using leftover cooked chicken, shred the chicken, add the salsa and cook until warmed through.
