SALSA FRESCA CHICKEN

Growing up in Texas I have that deep rooted love of Tex-mex cuisine pretty much running through my blood.  If it is wrapped in a tortilla, covered in cheese or doused in salsa, chances are it is something I am dreaming of eating 98% of the time.  Tex-mex doesn’t tend to be the lightest or healthiest cuisine, but this Salsa Fresca Chicken changes all that.

I will take your enchilada and raise you an easy one dish meal of this Salsa Fresca Chicken.

The ingredients are so simple, but in the end you come out with such a bang with this dish.  The chicken is seasoned with the familiar spices from Tex-Mex cuisine and then smothered in fresh pico de gallo and topped with Monterey Jack cheese to finish of the Salsa Fresca Chicken.  The result is all the flavor of delicious Mexican food in a light and healthy dinner.
