This Healthy Chicken Salsa Recipe is a super easy salsa chicken dinner. Now I topped mine with cheese, but if you want it healthier then you can top with low fat cheese or cut the cheese in half.  All you need are a handful of ingredients and a little bit of effort and voila! You’ll have a dinner your family will ask for over and over again. Enjoy!

My kids rave about this dinner every time I make it. I know your family will love it too. It’s a great dinner option that requires very little work.

This recipe couldn’t be easier… your favorite prepared salsa and a few other ingredients are all you’re going to need. There’s very little prep work involved so it’s perfect for those back-to-school busy weeknights!

I love recipes that come together with minimal effort and taste like you spent an eternity preparing them… this is one of those recipes!    It literally takes 5 minutes to throw together.

I shared this dish with my neighbor and she texted me telling me how much she and her boyfriend enjoyed it.  LOVE!  That’s one thing I’ve always enjoyed is sharing food with friends and family.  Speaking of sharing food, I’m getting ready to host the biggest celebration of my life in a couple of weeks feeding 50+ people and couldn’t be more excited (wish me luck!).  We’re celebrating the life of our dear friend who passed suddenly, my new house and my friend’s recovery after open heart surgery.
