I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted tomato sauce for salsa. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe is a little spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
