I found the inspiration for a Salsa Chicken recipe that interested me on the ‘Low Carb Recipe Group’ on Facebook. No picture, but the recipe looked zesty and filling. I was so happy to find it. I’d been craving Mexican. Thanks to C.H. who took the time to share it.
Flavor is so important to me when maintaining a disciplined method of eating. Salsa Chicken has just 5 ingredients and comes together quickly. I replaced the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt and it worked quite well.
Once prepped you just pop it in the oven. The smell as it bakes is wonderful. During the last few minutes you sprinkle cheese over the top, so it just has time to spread its melty goodness over the hot chicken mixture.
I served the Salsa Chicken over a bed of steamed zucchini ‘noodles’ which I made using the french fry blade on my mandolin slicer, slicing the zucchinis lengthwise. Then I steamed them a few minutes until tender crisp. ( Rice works, of course, for non-dieters.)
I thought that the Salsa chicken on top of the zucchini noodles made a pretty picture and an appealing dish. And yes it was delicious and satisfied my craving for Mexican food. I’m planning to make it again next week. Enjoy!
