Servings: 5 burrito bowls

1 (16oz) jar of salsa
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

6. Slice the chicken and assemble the burrito bowls however you like!

I copied the recipe exactly and found it a bit too spicy so the only adjustment I would make would be to use 1/2 tsp of chili powder rather than 1 tbsp / adjust according to spice preference.
Tasted amazing though! Chicken tasted even better made on the sheet pan with the sauce than on the stove.
