Chicken Breasts with Tomatillo Salsa image

I had a jar of tomatillo salsa in the pantry and decided to create an easy week night dish full of flavor. This sure fit the bill. DH asked me to write it down before I forgot what I did so I could duplicate it again. I'm watching fat, so I didn't add cheese or sour cream to my portion, but it was still delicious. Cleanup is a breeze -just throw the foil away!

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of chicken you like, and you can adjust the heat of the salsa by adding more or less chili peppers. I also like to add some chopped cilantro to the salsa for a little extra flavor.
