I added a bunch of seasoning, but otherwise this was super easy and pretty good
This recipe most definitely was bland. Had to add a lot of spices. After adding the spices it was good. Then I added the cream cheese and it basically ruined it. The cream cheese didn’t thicken it much either and just tasted odd in it.
My husband and I found this to be bland.
This recipes is a go to for me and my wife. I’ve changed an ingredients and added a few more. I subbed canned corn for canned cream corn and added smoked paprika and cumin.
Only changes I made was to add taco seasoning to the top of each chicken breast before adding the salsa on top. Then after I shredded the chicken g added the cream cheese I added a small can of mild fire roasted green chilis. I can’t eat spicy foods so this was the perfect flavor without being too spicy. Also, it’s really good with some Fritos mixed in if you don’t have any tortilla shells.
Family loved it. Even grumpy teenager. Season chicken before adding to crock.
Added some cut up onion and taco seasoning to the meat after reading about the bland taste. Also we didn’t have enough salsa so we substituted Rotel for what we lacked in salsa. It came out perfect. On the leftovers we rolled them in the tortillas like enchiladas and covered is queso cheese. Yum!!! Very flavorful! We will definitely make this again and again!!
I read a lot of reviews that said it was watery so I added an extra chicken breast and it was not watery at all (I was actually a little nervous with how not watery it was lol). I used half the amount of cream cheese. I also read it was bland but my family and I thought it was perfect. We added toppings like sour cream, avocado, Mexican cheese and lettuce. Super simple meal, definitely recommend ??
Too soupy. More like southwest cream cheese soup. Used Chunky Salsa also.
Turned out just like I expected. Very easy. And very tasty!
Made this and used 2.1 pounds of Boneless Chicken Breast then doubled the amount of Black Beans and corn. One jar of salsa and 1/2 jar on top of the chicken. Also 1 cup of finely chopped onion and a finely chopped Jalapeño pepper. Some ground sea salt and some Creole Seasoning. Finally Creme cheese at the end. Rave reviews from my family
a great recipe- I added a little chili powder and would recommend adding a bit more beans but otherwise it was very tasty and simple to make!
Hubby is hard to please, but he said I could make this anytime. I added two packages of taco seasoning and used Chi- Chi’s Salsa. Goes great with lime flavored tortilla chips.
I read the reviews and saw that many people said the recipe is too bland. I like bland, so I made it for dinner tonight. It was delicious. The only thing I changed was to scoop out a cup and a half of liquid before I added the cream cheese.
It’s delicious no matter what. But I think the simplicity makes it even more delicious. Perfect for spending time with a busy family while preparing a decent meal for them.
This meal is amazing and my kids love it!!! I made it according to the recipe, but at the end when I shredded up the chicken and added the cream cheese, I also added some ranch seasoning and a couple of Mexican spices! Gave it more flavor!! This dish made great leftovers as well!
It was excellent, especially the next day for left overs.
Very easy and tasty. I added diced jalepenos for a little heat.
quick easy and tasty
I included a can of green chilies for some added flavor . . . yummy.
So disappointed, been wanting to make this and finally did today, extremely bland. I had my son try it and his response “doesn’t taste like anything”
