This was very good and easy. Instead of the green chilies and salsa, I added a can of mild Rotel with green chilies. I also added a cup of frozen corn and used ground turkey instead of chicken. My husband loved it! :)

Our family loved this recipe. I substituted hamburger for the chikcen last time I made it and that was really good, too!

Took me longer than I thought but that was due to cutting up the chicken breasts. My husband and children were not impressed w/ the green pepper....but I loved it. Overall they really liked the dish and asked me to make it again...minus the gp!!

I thought it was very delisious. The only problem my family had for it was that it was a bit too spicy. We were living in europe and so we are not used to spicy foods....with a little less salsa...it is perfect!

I used some left-over spicy chicken from tacos, it turned out wonderful!

I used less velveeta cheese, left out the green pepper, increased the salsa, and added 1 small can of chopped green chilis.
