Really good, but dries out quickly. Need to use it up within a day or two.

REALLY GOOD! REALLY EASY!! I loved this and so did the hubby! I left out the green peppers, not a fan. I seasoned the chicken with montreal steak seasoning a sprinkle of cumin and a sprinkle of chili powder to make it a little zestier, and it made it delicious!!

Really good and easy! I added more salsa than it called for though. I think it would be pretty dry otherwise.

My husband and I LOVE this recipe! We've made it several times and keep making slight changes to it to keep it interesting. We switch the pepper to red and also try it with different flavors of salsa. It keeps it interesting and delicious!

My whole family liked this recipe. I made a few changes on mine. I added corn from a corn with green and red peppers, and I did not want it to be dry, I added more salsa and a diced tomatoes from a can. We will make it again.
