Submitted by ebbtide

"The taste of this chicken is incredible. Has a Mexican flavor, but is not overpowering. We used left overs in tacos and was almost as enjoyeable as the original meal."

Mmmm! This is very tasty chicken! I marinated for 2 hours and increased the garlic to 3 large cloves, but the chili powder and salsa combo were the prominent flavors. Not that this is bad, but just a bit misleading. We ate ours on a bed of lettuce with corn kernals, cheese and extra salsa. Tomorrow, I will wrap the leftovers in a whole wheat tortilla for lunch! Thanks ebbtide for sharing.
