Easy, tasty, quick and, yummy meal. I cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces, so each bite was flavor packed. Bite sized pieces allowed the meal to feed double the amount people. Use a mild salsa and or a mild chili powder because this dish can pack a kick. I served this meal with a saffron rice and it was amazing. This recipe will have many repeat performances at my table..

This is a good dish and easy to make. instead of the corn, I use a 10 oz bag of "steamer" microwave rice and a 10 oz bag of "steamer" microwave mixed veggies, and added a 1/2 cup of water. It would also make great Nachos if you cut up the chicken and added your favorite chips and cheese!

This is a very good recipe. I have to use mild ingredients for the husband, but it was still very tasty. I used a chunky salsa, but think a regular salsa would make it more juicy. Overall a very quick and yummy dish. There were enough veggies that we didn't need a side dish although Spanish rice would have gone very well.
