It was missing something, maybe more salsa

3.5 stars. I thought it would be a little better, but it was ok. Nothing spectacular.

Based on the reviews I used chicken broth instead of water and,pinto beans instead of black beans, added onion, green bell peppers and lots of cheese...it was really good and the kids loved it.

This was good however I did follow a few of the previous reviewers suggestions. I used chicken broth in place of the water and coated the chicken with taco seasoning prior to adding the salsa.

Just like every other Kraft recipe-- you need to season the chicken before you insert it into the dish. I omitted the peppers (don't like) and salsa (none on hand), and seasoned the chicken with garlic salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and Cholula (hot sauce). Only cook the it for 25 minutes then 5 with the cheese on to avoid drying it out. Good stuff!

This was plenty spicy for me. I added more cilantro, did chicken broth instead of water, chopped the chicken up, and added a whole lot more cheese for my cheese-loving husband. Yummy!!
