I varied this recipe using 1/2 cup of water instead of cooking spray and sprinkled 2 tbsp's of taco seasoning instead of chili powder when the water was reduced to half. I cut the chicken into bite size pieces. I omitted the carrots and added the mac, cheese pouch, milk (no butter)and salsa right to the pan with the chicken. I let this thicken and it really was wonderful and quick.

One of my husband's faves. I sometimes add onions and peppers to this for more filling portions.

My family & I really enjoyed this dish. I had 7 chicken thighs, so used 1 cup of salsa. I'm loving that the family likes the Kraft receipes and wants them again! Any side dish would be good with the chicken, carrots & salsa. I also fixed a green salad with this.

I didn't have mac/cheese, so I had herb-rice with green peas as my side dish. I loved the kick of the salsa - a wonderfully surprising blend of flavors! What a great new chicken recipe. Family rated it (and me) very high! Thanks.
