I would not recommend this recipe. The chicken was tough and the salsa was bland.

This recipe was not what I expected. The chicken was not very flavorful and the salsa was too sweet for my taste.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the salsa was delicious. I would make this again, but I would cook the chicken for less time.
