This meal was wonderful! I'm glad I read the suggestion to add taco seasoning. I added an onion and orange bell pepper. Next time I'm going to try a little salsa verde.

This was simple to make and my family enjoyed. Next time I will add extra taco seasoning.

My boyfriend LOVED this!!! I am a beginner at cooking, and on a fixed budget. The Tex-Mex chicken covered all of that and then some! :D

so easy and lots of flavor! Next time I will use the chicken as a taco instead of serving it with white rice:)

I have made this recipe a few times, and my husband and I love it! I have tried it with mixed veggies, black beans, potatoes and boneless chicken thighs. It's wonderful every time.

Mu husband is VERY picky about what he eats and he loved this. I substituted a can of Ro-tel for the salsa, but left everything else the same. Was delicious and kind of spicy too!

I added chilli powder for some kick, and cut the chicken into bigger pieces, and put out sour cream for some flavor. I've got a huge family at least ten at the table each night and it was a huge hit. Being a mom to a new born this recipe makes dinner so much easier instead of trying to cook in between naps.
