This post is sponsored by Martinez Fire Roasted Salsa, but my love of the product is all my own.
I wish it was every day I made a recipe that my husband loved as much as this one. I mean, I know they can’t all be “wins,” but he really REALLY loved this one. Honestly though, what’s not to like?
Barbecued chicken … BACON … cheese … hash browns … it all just makes me think of one word … YUM.
I have cooked with Martinez salsa before. Remember the Carnitas Nachos that I did for tailgating? Maybe you recall the Double Decker Baked Tacos I made for National Taco Day? Both of those recipes were my introduction to this awesome salsa that is full of fire roasted flavor. Martinez salsas come in four flavors; Hot, Medium, Mild and Peach. My kids love the peach one. I couldn’t wait to come up with a unique recipe to use it in.
Martinez Salsa was developed five generations ago, by Great Grandmother Martinez, in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. True fire roasted Mexican Salsa is unique in the market and now we can enjoy it at our kitchen tables.
I made a marinade of Martinez Fire Roasted Peach Salsa and our favorite bottled BBQ sauce. After it bathed itself in that glorious mixture for a couple of hours, I grilled it up and topped it with some freshly cooked bacon slices. I whipped up a cheese sauce from a smoked Gouda cheese and drizzled it over the top — it was I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E!
Next time you are looking for a way to spice up dinner, grab yourself a jar (or two!) of Martinez Fire Roasted Peach Salsa and make your family some Cowboy Chicken!
Don’t second guess if your chicken is done or not. This Thermapen Mk4 is the best meat thermometer I have ever owned!
