Such an easy recipe and I had most of the ingredients on hand already. I crushed up some tortilla chips and sprinkled them on top for a little crunch with the sauce.

I liked it, although my husband said there weren't enough green peppers and my kid said there were too many green peppers!

This recipe is delicious and super easy! I added the Black Beans as suggested which makes it a more little hearty.

This recipe is good for on the go or just need a quick fix dinner. Tasted a little bland , Next time I will just add more spices. But definitely a keeper.

Excellent! A little spicy due to the med heat salsa I used. Chicken was tender. Lots of fresh taste from the fresh veggies added in. Really easy to make. I used Basmatti Rice instead of brown rice.

YUM!!! I used peach-pineapple salsa, and added black beans. No cheese, defintely a keeper recipe, the whole family loved it! Not sure I will try it with regular salsa,it may be too plain, since the peach-pineapple kicked it up a notch!

Loved it! I used thinly cut chicken because it was all I could find at the store. Just adjusted it a bit on cook time and it was great!
