It's chicken night! The night where we try to shake things up and add a little pizzaz to one of our favorite proteins. Tonight's feature is Salsa Fresca Chicken... sounds sort of fancy, right? Well, it's completely effortless to make but comes out so tasty! Line up the chicken breasts to be seasoned just right, then pack 'em up with some juicy pico de gallo and melty cheese to create a pile of cheesy, flavorful goodness! We love trying new ways to enjoy our go-tos, and Salsa Fresca Chicken might be our new favorite yet!
