With the keywords “sweet and spicy chicken” we ended up on a website called Taste of Home and this recipe. And of course we had to make it right away, because the whole family just loves hot and spicy food (nowadays I consider myself also a friend of it).
Very easy and quick made food, the taste of which was a positive surprise. Peach preserves adds just a touch of sweetness, while taco seasoning and salsa give this dish some kick.
The original recipe says: “This entree can be made even zippier yet by adding more taco seasoning and using spicier salsa.” I still would give a word of warning: I rather recommend to use taco seasoning just as the recipe advises. I once used more, which made the sauce taste somewhat fusty – in other words it spoiled the taste at least for me.
