For those of you think that chicken thighs are higher in fat, think again! If you use the boneless and skinless kind and trim any other visible fat from them, they are really about the same fat-wise, ounce for ounce. Dark meat always gives better flavor for saucy dishes that have stronger sauces. If you don't like the texture, by all means, use breasts. Otherwise, don't blame your choice on the fat content, since there's not enough difference to quibble over it! I like to use the black bean salsa, and it is good with yellow rice.

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. I took other reviewers advice and used a whole jar of salsa and seasoned chicken with lower sodium taco seasoning instead of just salt. I served this with Zatarain's yellow rice and a salad. I will definitely be making this dish over and over again. Thank you!

I love this recipe. I have also made it with chicken breasts on high for three hours. The last 10 minutes I sprinkle with one cup of shredded Mexican cheese.
