Chicken with Mandarin Salsa image

When I have some leftover veggies, I dress the salsa up a little with some diced green onions and bell peppers. If you like a spicier sauce, add cayenne pepper to the skillet. -Aysha Shurman, Ammon, Idaho

The chicken was a little dry for my taste, but the salsa was delicious. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, such as thighs or breasts.
