Salsa Chicken Skillet

Salsa Chicken Skillet is one of those recipes that goes together in no time and your family can be enjoying the meal on a very busy day. The chicken has a very special rub that gives it lots of Tex Mex flavors. After cooking, it simmers with some salsa and cheese, to top off a great recipe. Just add some lime and cilantro with a sliced avocado and this is a plate full of goodness. I have added one of my favorite rice casserole recipes to the meal that really compliments the chicken.
