Recently I came up with this delicious, smoky southwestern chicken concoction. It's baked over a corn salsa and is absolutely delicious.
Here's what you need to get started:
The salsa is wonderful eaten cold with tortilla chips, as well. The
crunchy red onion is a refreshing addition to the corn, black beans and
Ro-Tel.
This would make a simply and tasty weeknight dinner... Great for those busy nights when you need to throw something together in a flash!

This is great by itself, but I have a feeling it would be delicious if you shredded the chicken and served it up over warm tortillas.
Enjoy!
Yum! This looks great. I would have to omit the hot sauce though. Ed sweats at the sign of it. The green chiles would be enough for him ;-)
