When have you ever found a 3 ingredient, healthy meal that your whole family enjoys? While this (shall we call it a unicorn?) trifecta of food may have eluded you in the past, rest assured that it is now here with this clean eating creamy salsa chicken, and it is very, very real. (And very, very good. But that’s beside the point. Isn’t it?)
Serve this as a dip with homemade tortilla chips, over cooked brown rice, or even as a stuffing for baked sweet potatoes or fresh avocados. It could also be the base for tacos, nachos, or quesadillas.
