Excellent! Easy and fast to make. I used a can of Mexican corn (drained) in place of the frozen corn and added about 1/2 teaspoon of cumin for a little more Tex-Mex flavor. It was so good I sent it to a couple of friends and my son in college.

I've made this twice and I thought it was great both times! The first time it was a little too spicy for me, so the second time I used a little less salsa. I also added some minced onion and garlic salt to the chicken to add a little extra flavor. It's great, quick, and easy. Will definitely keep on my list!

I made this last week and LOVED it! It was so flavorful and we gobbled up the leftovers for lunch the next day. I'll make it again for sure.

I made this recipe tonight, and found it to be quick and easy, and tasty too! I like some of the things that I read other people have done or added to it, and will try some other things the next time I make it.
