CHICKEN WITH GARDEN SALSA

Chicken with Garden Salsa image

"Fresh chiles vary greatly in taste and price. A fruity serrano gives this dish authentic Mexican flavor, but jalapenos cost less and are more commonly available. To save time, use canned tomatoes and corn in the salsa." Mary Relyea - Canastota, New York
