Zesty Chicken with Corn Salsa

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!

Mmmmm!
Made this recipe for my husband and I for dinner and we both loved it! The seasoning on the chicken is great and we loved the flavors in the salsa!

Fast,easy,and delicious
My husband and I whipped this together while we had friends over and it got many compliments. Next time I will add a little red onion to the salsa and let the veggies drain some after I put the salt in so there is not so much juice. You can really add whatever veggies you like to the salsa!

Delicious!
The chicken was very flavorful. We didn't have chili powder so we substituted Lawry's seasoning and it still tasted great. I made the salsa earlier in the day and it made dinner preparations much faster. We'll definitely be making this again.

Great Recipe!
I printed the recipe and my husband put it together last night. We grilled the chicken instead of cooking indoors in a skillet. We also took a previous review recommendation and added cilantro. It was wonderful. I think next time we will add red onion too. We had leftover corn salsa so we plan to grill pork chops and use the salsa on that!

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!

Quick, Easy & Nutritious
This was a great recipe that was healthy and affordable. I prepared the chicken just as directed, but I added a small amount of chopped onion to the salsa, and I used a whole can of Kidney Beans. The chicken was juicy and delicious and the salsa was even better the next day as a healthy and filling lunch.

very good
I made this for my family of 6. My 4 girls loved the chicken, but didn't like the corn salsa very much. I did warm the corn salsa though, we're not used to eating corn/beans cold, but even warmed I really enjoyed it.

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.)

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!
