Ingredients
4-6 lg boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Salsa Sensations Medium Salsa
Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste
2 cups fresh spinach
2 ounces Chihuahua cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup Queso Fresco, crumbled
Your choice of Salsa Sensations Salsa for garnish
To Prep Chicken
Cut off any excess fat and loosely wrap in plastic wrap. With the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken to a 1/4 inch thickness. Unwrap breasts and season both sides with sea salt and ground black pepper. Place in fridge to chill while making the filling.
To Prep Creamy Cheese and Salsa Sensations Filling
Finely chop spinach in food processor. Add Salsa Sensations Medium Salsa, Chihuahua cheese and cream cheese to food processor and blend until smooth.
Preparation and Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Lay chicken breasts flat on a plate and spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling into the center of each. Fold ends over filling like a wrap. Place in a 13 X 9 glass baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
Just before serving, spoon on a thick ribbon of your choice of Salsa Sensations which comes in Hot, Medium and Mild. Crumble on some Queso Fresco and you’ve got a gourmet dish that everyone will love…including your kids!

Disclaimer: This recipe was created as part of an entry in the Salsa Sensations 2011 Blogher Contest. I have not been in any way compensated for this post, but do have sky-high hopes of winning a trip Blogher in San Diego. The contest in no way influenced my feelings or opinions about the Salsa Sensations product line. All opinions are 100% my own.
Medium Salsa Sensations Review: There is definitely more spice to this salsa. I liked it a lot, because the heat was well-balanced with the flavor. It was a little too intense to share with the kids, but my husband’s immediate reaction was, “This is the one for me.” Then he grabbed his glass of ice tea…and resumed munching. I think the medium salsa would be perfect for taco dip and am anxious to test the theory!
The only improvement I can suggest is that I’d like to see a chunky line of Salsa Sensations salsas, but that’s a personal preference thing. My husband, who likes a smoother salsa, was in heaven. If you enjoy a slightly chunky, but well-blended consistency, you’ll love the texture of Salsa Sensations.
