My husband and three children love this tender chicken that has a spicy sauce. Peach preserves add just a touch of sweetness, while taco seasoning and salsa give this dish some kick. This entree can be made even zippier yet by adding more taco seasoning and using spicier salsa.

I found that I should have cooked the chicken in a non-stick skillet. If you like the taste of this, try Tangy Pork chops. It's another easy recipe, but it uses the crock pot.

Really good if you use cranberry sauce instead of peach to.

This is a super-fast meal to fix, especially if you cut up the chicken the night before-- and it's also healthy and tasty!!
