Tips for Better Salsa Chicken

Yes, this recipe is as easy it gets to make. However, you may want to give it a bit of extra something for flavor or texture. Below are some of my tips for when I make this salsa chicken recipe.

• Choose a unique salsa like a green chile blend or one that features mango or pineapple for a different flavor profile
• Add in diced jalapeno or green chile for extra heat
• Mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin for a richer flavor profile
• When this is finished cooking, use your hand mixer to shred the chicken faster
• When making large batches, portion into 1 cup storage containers for easy heat and go meals on busy days
