Try it! You'll like it!

Hey - here is a great VERY easy meal that can be made into two!

Chicken
Mango Papaya Salsa

That's it!  No joke!  You can also add chunks of pinapple if it suits your fancy.  I pour the carton (from Trader Joes fresh salsa section) of salsa over the chicken (I used a whole carton for 4 to 5 chicken breasts, depending on how large they are) and bake for 30 minutes.  When it was done baking I shreaded the chicken leaving it in the salsa - now the twofer...

Meal One - Tacos! 
Add anything you would like to your tacos - suggestions below:
corn or flour tortillas
blackened corn
brown rice
lettuce
cilantro
**Matt said it doesn't need cheese - I didn't forget it! 

Meal Two - Chicken Salad
put the shreaded chicken over lettuce
some added treats could be:
jicama - I really like jicama
corn
cucumber

I have to give credit where credit is due...the chicken and salsa idea came from the Trader Joe's cookbook, but I made it into tacos and salad!  Let me know if you have other suggestions with what to do with the 2 ingredient chicken dish.

Enjoy!

I want to know how it is you let cilantro sneak into the things to add... What have you done with my sister?

I know! Cilantro doesn't make my stomach happy! But I thought others might like it!! We skip the cliantro in the Poladian house!

I used ground turkey meat and put it on a salad! Easy, yummy and light!
