Fresh Salsa/Lime Chicken By: Kerry S.

Recipe Story

This is a favorite recipe of my daughter Maggie, a 26-year-old with CF awaiting a double-lung transplant at Stanford. I often doubled the salsa and rice so she had it as a snack the next day! I added butter to her rice for more calories. We are active in CFRI.
