Tex-Mex Baked Chicken

I saw this recipe on foodnetwork.com and knew there had to be a way that I could make this work without the frying.

So I checked out our pantry and put together the recipe below. It was a bit "hot" but the rice we served it with, helped even that out.

We will definitely be making this one again. (Please note: This dish is much tastier than the photo makes it out to be.)
