Easy to make. Nice change of Taste. I used boneless pork instead of chicken and it was delicious.

Most of a small green pepper is enough. Onions might be a nice addition.

I made it at my mom's house for her and my fiance. One of the vest received dished I've made (and I am an aspiring chef). My little brother came home and was upset we didnt save him more. I mixed in a little cheese & stirred, then topped it an let it melt on individual servings for appeal.

It was a nice change to a chicken dish by adding salsa. Very good!

My 16 year old raved about this recipe! I have fixed almost every thing in the new Food and Family magazine for fall! They are so good and so easy.

My husband loved this recipe. It was very flavorful and the chicken was very moist because of the salsa. Great dish and makes lots of left overs!!!
