Was delicious and was even better reheated the next day. Even my picky 3yr old loved it. It will be a regular dish at my house since it is easy to make.

A great pasta dish, it is nice to have your carbs, vegtables and meat all in one meal.

Yum! Super easy and doesn't take too long--it's really important to find a good salsa as that's the main thing in this, and I like to marinate the chicken in some starch, water, and random seasonings so that it's tender enough in this recipe.
