Wanted to try chicken a new way, so I came up with this. It's easy and tasty and quick. I didn't have enough cheddar cheese so I included mozarella and kicked up the cheese mix a bit and yummo! It was delicious. Read more I made 2 small pans. I used chipotle pineapple salsa (it was awesome) and my daughter used regular tomato onion salsa. She called me in the evening to say how delicious it was! See less

We tried this on Friday night and it was a HUGE hit! We couldn't find the adobo sauce so we used something else. But it was fantastic and breakfast for my husband on sat morning. :-)
