Notes

Salsa*- Use your favourite store bought salsa.

Taco Seasoning**- you can skip this if the salsa is very spicy or you dont have any on hand.

Cooking Time***-Increase the cooking time to 12 minutes if the chicken breasts are very large(10 oz or more)

Burn Message - The water is added to avoid the burn message.If you add the chicken breast directly, it can burn and show the burn message.

Watery Sauce- The dish could become watery if the salsa is very thin or if the chicken breasts have too much water in them.In that case,Saute the Shredded chicken in the sauce for a few minutes to thicken the sauce
