I do prefer to use a fresh salsa such as Garden Fresh Gourmet – and no this is not an advertisement for them LOL! I just really like their salsas. You can find them at Costco or similar types of salsa in the fresh dips/salad dressing section of the grocery store. These kinds of fresh salsa are usually stocked beside the pre-made guacamole and are way better than jarred salsa in my opinion.
This fiesta chicken recipe also works perfectly as a weekly meal prep option because it still tastes good even 4 or 5 days later! You can make a huge batch in the one pan so there's minimal clean up, and then it's just a matter of dividing the servings up and grabbing a bowl on your way out the door in the morning.
