Zesty Chicken with Corn Salsa
Recipe Tip
Kooky for Kidney Beans
Kidney beans are loaded with plenty of fiber—the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

Zesty Chicken with Corn Salsa
Made this for my family last night. We all enjoyed it. Very easy to make and has great taste and flavor. I give it 5 stars. Thanks for a simple but good meal idea.

Quick and Easy!!
My husband and I loved this dish! I added Cilantro to the salsa which gave it some extra zip. The next time I make this I plan on making the salsa a day ahead of time.

Even my picky-eater, 4 year old daughter loved this recipe! (Although it did give everyone gas.)

So good, so fast, so easy!
I love this recipe! I made it with a short list of ingredients I had on hand. I made it quick, easy and best of all it tasted fabulous. I was so excited to share it with my husband and sister who both loved it too. I served it over a bed of chopped romaine, to make a complete meal. I will be making this dish often!

ZESTY CHICKEN WITH CORN SALSA
This is a great summer recipe, cool yet tasty. I made the salsa the day before. The flavors had time to really mix. This chicken recipe was easy and I will definitely make it for my family again. Yum!
