In his younger days, my son was always eager to help me make meals.

For the record, you can use your favorite salsa or even add some hot sauce to the mixture before you pour it all over the chicken, my son always does to this day.
My husband and I can't handle as much heat at all in our food anymore which is another reason getting older is terrible in some ways! Regardless, I urge you to taste it before you cover the chicken breasts. You will be glad you did.
