This is a chicken recipe that I like to make for my friends. I often go visiting and cook for my friends in their homes. I always have a few chicken recipes up my sleeve as they are always well received. I have been putting together an ecookbook of my best 2015 recipes and will include this one as its baking time is only 20 minutes and the salsa is absolutely delicious.
I am on my way around to my friends place tonight so will recommend this recipe and see what they think. I may even cook it tonight at their place, but we will see. I have outlined the ingredients and the method below so its all pretty straight forward. Nothing too technical here so even a novice or beginner should find it ok.
I really appreciate your feedback so drop me a comment below when you get the chance. Even a hi is welcome.
