Quick and easy recipe!! My husband loved it!! I also cut the chicken up in large pieces for faster cooking. I didn't have any chili powder and had planned to add cumin (as per another recommendation), so I used Emeril's Southwest seasoning, instead!! Great substitution. I also added more corn, so I needed a bit more liquid, so I used beer! Overall, a great meal that I will certainly make again!!!

My family loved this dish and I did too! It was very easy, fast and healthy. It has 7 weight watcher's points which is good. I will experiment with different salsas next time. Will for sure make again!

Easy, tasty, quick and, yummy meal. I cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces, so each bite was flavor packed. Bite sized pieces allowed the meal to feed double the amount people. Use a mild salsa and or a mild chili powder because this dish can pack a kick. I served this meal with a saffron rice and it was amazing. This recipe will have many repeat performances at my table..
