Mexicali Chicken Recipe from Denise Szarek |
We love to cook from scratch as much as anyone, but on nights when time is of the essence it’s nice to include some prime, pre-made ingredients such as a good chutney, or in this case a very high quality fruit salsa. The salsa and the recipe come from Denise and Bernie of Szarek Farms in upstate New York, the founders of Old Goat Foods.
Szarek Farms is a great example of the old maxim, "necessity is the mother of invention." A small greenhouse grower in Central New York, the husband and wife team of Denise and Bernie Szarek grows tomatoes, peppers, fruits and herbs. They do not use pesticides on their farm.
Here's what The Nibble had to say about their delicious salsas, "Like sweet fruit salsa? Like adorable pygmy goats? Here’s the salsa for you. The line has four mascots: pygmy goat triplets and their canine “brother.” Together, they dish out nice, sweet-and-spicy salsas."
Your desired level of spiciness is made easy, as Denise and Bernie’s premium salsa comes in three degrees of heat: Hot, Medium and Sweet.

• 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 Cup seasoned bread crumbs
