CINNAMON CHICKEN
Chicken breasts baked with cinnamon and other seasonings. This is a recipe that I created while working at a flight kitchen. We had cinnamon in the spice collection that nobody used for anything, so I decided to try it on chicken and the flight crews and my family loved it!

INSTANT POT® SALSA CHICKEN
An Instant Pot® makes an easy weeknight meal even easier! Frozen chicken breasts are combined with taco seasoning and salsa for a tasty Mexican-themed meal. You can use the meat for tacos, burrito bowls, or as a topping for baked potatoes. So many possibilities! I used this the first night for chicken quesadillas. The second night I used it as a topping for baked potatoes with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, and sour cream.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts in an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Sprinkle all sides with taco seasoning. Pour salsa and chicken broth on top.
- Place lid on the pot and lock in place. Select the Poultry setting and set the timer for 15 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally after the cooking time has ended, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Shred the cooked chicken.

SALSA CHICKEN
Someone gave me this recipe a few years back and it's become a household favorite. You can use mild, medium or hot salsa depending on your taste. I usually serve it with Spanish rice and Mexican-style canned corn. Very easy and quick!

CINNAMON SALSA CHICKEN
This is my all time favorite chicken recipe. It has an exotic flavor from simple ingredients around the house. Everyone I serve it to, loves it. Original recipe won the Pillsbury Bake-Off, but I've tweaked here and there. You can tweak it also: use chicken thighs instead of breasts, vary the degree of the salsa, etc. It's best served over couscous.
