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.

My whole family and friends love this dish. I lower the fat by coating the chicken with the taco mix and baking for half hour til done. No frying. When I'm pressed for time I have sprinkled taco mix on cooked chicken and left in a bag all day. When ready, I just followed the rest of the recipe. Voila, instant dinner. And oh so GOOD.

My husband and I didn't care for this recipe. It was a little too sweet for our taste. If I ever make it again, I will probably half the amount of preserves the recipe calls for.

I will definitely make this again! Very delicious and simple to make. I might cut back a little on the taco seasoning, or use milder salsa, as it was a bit spicy for the children.

This recipe was a huge hit with my family. I love the contrast in the flavors. Even my 1 yr old son loved it!

Great easy recipe. I also tried it with Cranberry sauce instead of the peach preserves and can't imagine it getting any better!!

Delicious! This is a family favorite at my house. My 12 yr old requests it often. The sauce alone is great on the rice! And, bonus, it's so EASY to make! I use picante sauce instead of salsa.
