Excellent, easy recipe. I made it just as written. I used 2# of boneless chicken breast halves. Served with Spanish rice. Thanks for an easy weeknight meal!

Tommy Payne
Super easy and tastes great…AS WRITTEN! I do not like pieces/chunks of tomatoes and stuff in salsa, so I just use an immersion blender to get it to the consistency I like.
Heidi Delacruz
Very easy to make and tastes awesome
Donna Johnson
I cut the chicken into 1 inch cubes then put them in a zip bag pour the taco seasoning in then shake shake your booty till all are covered well. You can also use cocktail sauce instead of salsa.
Michael Wood
My family loves this recipe. I serve with black beans and a Spanish rice.
Teresa Robinson
Not a bad recipe for how easy it was! Made this in a pinch & it came together very quickly. Served it with tortilla chips & saffron rice. Wish I had some avocados!
Jennifer Conway
I made this tonight for dinner. It was so easy and SO good. I made a salt-free taco seasoning for it whick made it a little healthier.
Joshua Howell
I honestly was very surprised at how delicious this turned out. I omitted the cheese and sour cream and cooked it in a slow cooker and it was scrumptious! I made some Spanish rice with it but it would have been great in tacos! Definitely saving this recipe!
Lawrence Watson
This dish was actually way better than I thought it would be! The only changes that I made was using pineapple salsa and then garnishing with fresh cilantro, green onions fresh squeezed lime and tortilla strips after it came out of the oven. Served over yellow rice. I will absolutely be making this again. The whole family liked it.
Heather Graves
Easy and really good! I made mine with more chicken breast and made my own taco seasoning. Great with streamed broccoli!
Hannah Smith
Easy peasy and delicious. You can also make it look even more appetizing if you top it with sliced avocado!
Taylor Adkins
It was really good
Michael Odonnell
Wow so easy and the chicken was so juicy. I used the taco seasoning from this site and this was delish!!!
Robert Underwood
No changes, it was perfect as written. It can be spiced up if you want by using spicy taco seasoning or salsa, the mild was just enough for us. Also very easy and quick to make, comes out perfect every time
Deborah Shields
Super easy to make and very filling. I bulked it up with more sweet peppers, blackened corn, and tomatoes. The recipe is very forgiving for whatever you’ve got in the spice rack!
Megan Young
I really loved this recipe. It’s so simple, but renders such a nice juicy chicken meal. I rubbed the taco seasoning into both sides of the breasts with some garlic powder, Mexican oregano, cumin, and Adobo seasoning. I drizzled some olive oil to seal in the spices. Lined the bottom of the pan lightly with salsa, added the chicken, and put the remainder of half a jar of salsa on top. My salsa was pretty spicy, but the sour cream cools it down and I also sliced a few avocados on top. Totally yummy!

My husband’s favorite dinner!! I cut fresh chicken breast into bite sizes and put it all in a zip lock bag and sprinkle the seasoning over it and shake it until all the pieces are covered. Then I follow the rest of the directions. We put it over rice. I add sour cream to mine. It’s amazing!
Danielle Smith
Many thanks! A keeper! Easy, delicious, and versatile! I didn’t have any seasoning packets, so just blended the usual seasonings (ie chili powder, cumin, garlic/onion powders, black pepper and crushed chilis. After adding the cheese, I broiled the dish for a few minutes to brown. This dish would look pretty with ie chopped scallions and red pepper. I borrowed from another reviewer the idea of quickie ‘Mexican corn’ by adding red chilis and ground pepper as a side dish. In a moment of brilliance (lol) I added the corn on top of the steaming rice just before cooking time was up and served corn and rice together. Bonus is this took very few dishes!
