We will also be making salsa chicken. This recipe doesn't call for a specific brand of salsa, but I buy Riverwalk Cantina salsa. It's a local brand from San Antonio, and one of my favorites. You can find it in your neighborhood grocery store or Walmart. You can use whatever brand salsa you prefer though. So, grab your cooking utensils and I'll meet you in the kitchen like always!

- Enjoy!
