This dish makes an excellent light summer meal and is great combined with a nutritious salad and fresh vegetables. I personally cannot handle spicy salsa so I cut the jalapeno in half and do not coat the chicken with cooking spray. Remember you can always make adjustments to any recipe to suit your own tastes. Keep in mind, however, that your changes also affect the nutrition information.
