Fast, Easy Chicken in Salsa with Zucchini image

Great for those days when you stagger home from work and need dinner on the table fifteen minutes ago. So simple I'm a little embarrassed to call it a recipe. Tasty AND low fat.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 small zucchini
1/2 cup quartered mushroom
2 teaspoons olive oil

I'm going to try making this recipe again, but I'll make some modifications. I'll use fresh salsa and I'll cook the chicken for less time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I think this recipe would be better if it used fresh salsa instead of canned salsa.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions. I'm not sure how I was supposed to prepare the zucchini.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the sauce was too acidic for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry. I think I may have overcooked it.
