My family loved this recipe and after just a bite to two both my kids told me that this was a keeper! After reading the comments I decided to cook the chicken on top of the stove to provide more flavor for about 3 minutes on each side using just a little non-stick spray (you definitely need to use SMALL chicken breasts here making the three slits as suggested.) Then I cooked the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes with only the salsa on top. After that I added the sour cream which I mixed with about 1/2 pkg of dry taco mix as another suggested, and during the last 5 minutes I added the crushed chips turning up the heat about 5 degrees. All of the toppings stayed on top of the chicken perfectly and the chicken was not dried out. I served this with refried beans, spanish rice, lettuce, tomatoe and chips in case anyone wanted to make a small taco salad. It was great!

Love this! It is so easy and is so yummy. I throw together a yellow rice mix while it's cooking, and before I know it, dinner is ready!

This was ok but the chicken didn't have much flavor. I will stick to my other recipe that includes honey and lime.

I made this for my husband last night and he loved it so much he wants it tonight again. I made it with the hot and chunky salsa from tostitos, since my husband likes it spicy. It was very easy and I am passing this recipe on to my friends.

It was a simple dish to make. I wouldn't say it was my all time fave but definitely would make it again.

Loved this recipe - added a squeeze of lime over the chicken before the other toppings. Made it for MIL birthday party, and everybody loved it!
