This quick and simple salsa chicken recipe is fantastic! This recipe was given to me a few years ago and has since become a family favorite. You can use mild, medium, or hot salsa, depending on your preferences. Typically, I serve it with Mexican-style canned corn and Spanish rice.

I added 3/4 cup of milk to make it creamer and take some of the garlic salt taste out, it was too salty for my taste but it was good after the milk was added. Definitely making again.
I made it as directed. Not bad, I’d give it 3.5 stars.
My mother made this as a casserole. Make as directed, add shredded mosserillpour into casserole baking dish,
I add as much mild cheddar cheese as wanted. Other times, after serving, I use Parmesan for myself. Very good dish!
Followed this recipe with ½ the amount of egg noodles, (because it was just for me) and very happy with the results. Second time cooking I changed the recipe a little. Soften a tablespoon of onion in butter, added an 8 ounce can of sweet corn cream style to the cooked onions. Reduced the liquid out of the corn for 5-10 minutes. Used golden mushroom soup to the corn and a spoon of Laury’s Chicken Rub (from Costco). Mixed the noodles into then the noodles. The recipe is a good base and flexible.
I wasn’t crazy about this when I made it … *however* I added about a tablespoon of Frank’s RedHot and turned it into a buffalo chicken noodle dish. It’s REALLY good … you know, if you happen to like Frank’s 🙂
It was not a hit at our house.
Very good dinner. I added sour cream and green beans turned out great.
I, as well, was looking for a easy weeknight recipe. I thought this was decent and will make again. These are the adjustments that I made. I used one can of cream of chicken and 1 can cream of mushroom. I mixed these together with milk (probably close to one can of milk, and some additional pasta liquid), added pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder (to taste). Instead of chicken, I used sliced turkey sausage. I made the full recipe and there is enough for re-heated leftovers.
I didn’t like the chicken. I might try again, but with tuna. My kids didn’t like this at all.
Made this tonight with some broccoli instead of canned chicken, and it was awesome! I also used garlic powder and regular salt (didn’t have garlic salt), and added some cheese in at the end. Very simply satisfying, not overly fancy and complex. Probably will be making again due to it’s yumminess, ability to satisfy, and how incredibly easy it is to make!
MADE THE DISH VERRY OMG GOOD NEVER THOUGHT ME AND MY SISTER BUT I ADDED ONE MORE ING. ALFREDO SAUCE IT WAS VERY GOOD
I thought this was a very tasty dish but I did modify it to include veggies & to make it less thick. After boiling the pasta save 2 cups of pasta water to add back in with pasta. I also added 1 can of quartered artichokes & one 12 oz. bag of broccoli cuts steamers. It was delicious & my 6 year old son ate it up! I’ll definitely make this again.
What an awesome dish! I used homemade egg noodles and it was a hit oh and I marinated the chicken before I cooked it and added it to the noodle mixture and I cooked the chicken seperately but I definitely will make it again!
Like a few others I used cream of chicken soup. It did make a ton, but that’s a good thing since I have 5 hungry boys to feed. They were hesitant at first, but they finished their bowls!
Eh, I wasn’t impressed with this, even with some changes to jazz it up… I used one can of crm of mush, one can crm of chick and one can chedder cheese soup (I had read that it was dry, so I wanted mine to be moist enough). Added mushrooms and french style green beans. Used onion and garlic powder. My husband thought it was good (he added hot sauce and sour cream, though). I will eat the leftovers for lunch, maybe after some time together the flavor will be more bold. But I don’t think I’ll make this again.
I didn’t have canned chicken because we don’t eat it, so I used chicken that I had cooked. I only had one can of cream of mushroom and used a can of cream of chicken with it…and we added a can of drained peas, sliced fresh mushrooms and about a quarter of a cup of finely chopped onion. I normally don’t change up recipes like I did here ~ I like to make as written…but it just sounded good 🙂 My family of 5 tore it up. There was NONE left. My 5 year old is like me and doesn’t like pasta (we like egg noodles ok) and he asked for seconds. My daughter is not a big meat eater but really enjoyed this and went back for seconds. Was really good!
Worked in a pinch when I was out of rice, but wouldn’t plan it into the meal rotation.
I used cream of chicken soup like I had seen other users suggest, and I think it worked well. I also used a store bought rotisserie chicken and I think that really helped this turn out better than if I had used canned chicken, plus it cut way down on my time. I will definitely make this again, but I think next time I’ll add veggies to give it a little extra.
as a college student, this is great. really cheap and easy. it also makes a ton. as for the taste, i wasn’t too impressed, but i’ll definitely make again and try some different variations! Thanks for the recipe!
My kids AT THIS LIKE THEY WERE STARVING!! They all three devoured it..Seriously! They ate the entire pot of noodles!!
