I was looking at the Salsa Chicken recipe http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?..._id=398154&mesg_id=398154&listing_type=search - could I substitute drained tofu slices for the chicken breasts?

I don't see why not. Just use well drained firm tofu. I don't cook with it, but I will eat it and like it, if I can find it at a restaurant. I've only cooked w/ tofu once. I made tofu enchiladas one Halloween. Tried to pass them off as chicken. Hubby and son were NOT amused. I thought they were good.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'drained,' but if you mean pressed so that lot of water is removed (wrap in a cotton dishtowel, place on a plate, and put another plate on top, with a weight---like a heavy pot--on top and leave for about 20 minutes), then it should be dense enough (just be sure to use water-packed tofu, and not asceptically packed tofu, which doesn't have the same texture)
Another option, which would taste more chickeny, would be tempeh.
