Chicken with Garden Salsa for Two image

"Fresh chiles vary greatly in taste and price. A fruity serrano gives this dish authentic Mexican flavor, but jalapenos cost less and are more commonly available. To save time, use canned tomatoes and corn in the salsa." Mary Relyea - Canastota, NY

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the salsa was too watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Very disappointed.

Overall, this was a solid recipe. The chicken was cooked well and the salsa was tasty. However, I found the dish to be a bit too one-dimensional. It could have used some additional spices or herbs to add more complexity.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The chicken was a bit dry and the salsa lacked any real flavor. I think it could have benefited from more seasoning and perhaps some additional vegetables.
