Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1/2 cup strawberry jam and the 1.5 cups salsa sauce. Mix them together until they form a smooth, consistent sauce.
- If desired, trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help the sauce adhere better.
- Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Pour the sweet and salsa mixture over the chicken thighs, making sure each piece is well-coated.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C), and the sauce should be bubbling.
- Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the sweet and salsa chicken hot, spooning extra sauce over the top. This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
- Enjoy your delicious Sweet and Salsa Chicken with family and friends!
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the salsa sauce for a few hours before cooking.
- You can use either homemade salsa sauce or store-bought, depending on your preference.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, choose a hot salsa sauce or add some chopped jalapeños to the mix.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for an added touch of freshness.
- Serve with a side of rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less strawberry jam according to your taste.
There you have it! A delectable Sweet and Salsa Chicken that's as easy to prepare as it is to enjoy. The combination of strawberry jam and salsa sauce creates a unique flavor profile that will leave everyone asking for seconds.
