    This was wonderful!! I doubled the recipe because I have a large family, and I added the black beans that were suggested. I also used frozen chicken tenders instead of chicken breast. It required an extra bit of baking time, but ooohhh, was it worth the wait! It was awesome! - 7/27/09

    This is a favorite in our house, and it's simple too! This recipe really saves on sodium and fat by not having taco seasoning or cream of chicken soup. YUMMMY!!! - 5/12/09

    Yummm! Thanks! I needed something quick and easy. I added a 1/2 can of black beans and 1/2 can of corn instead of just one can of corn - both were leftovers from a previous meal, so its what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing! - 10/3/10

    This one was GREAT! I love that this is topped with cheese. I have cut way back on the amount of cheese in my diet so this was like a visit from an old friend! Ha! - 10/3/09

    Made this tonight. Very tasty! I used frozen corn, a 15 oz can of black beans & fresh salsa. Also made my own "chips" from whole wheat tortillas that I cut, sprayed with Pam & sprinkled with garlic salt. (I should not have left them in the oven on broil, tho!) - 3/10/09

    Looks yummy, but please note that your calculations are incorrect--the protein count is way too low. 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast comes to a bit over 26g of protein, actually. Much better than 10g! - 9/11/12

    Love this! I added black beans like some of the others suggested. I cut my chicken into small strips and served it over chopped lettuce with some fat free ranch for a yummy taco salad! - 3/21/12

    I make this often my family loves it. I cook chicken on stovetop with cooking spray, when chicken is almost done, then I add salsa and black beans and corn. Also great with low fat mexi blend cheese.

    Cheap, Easy and relatively quick what more could you ask for... besides taste which this dish HAS! Had to bake longer b/c there was a lot of chicken. Really tasty hubby loved it and I am taking leftovers for lunch! Might try adding more veggies next time b/c there WILL be a next time! - 1/10/12

    Making this for dinner tonight second time using this... this time I will be using a spicier salsa (targets archer farms fresh style) and were having brown rice with peppers and tomatoes mixed in. Also add the black beans because I love them - 1/4/12

    Great recipe. I added black beans also. I love this recipe because it has allowed me to sneak beans into my family's diet, and it's so good they can't protest. I also enjoy experimenting with different salsas for a little variety. - 11/23/11

    I have had a recipe that is a lot like this but is made it the crock pot. It also used black beans as well as corn. I make the slow cooker version all the time. However it is very good! - 11/6/11

    I made this last night - excellent. I used 11 oz Chipotle Corn and added black beans with it. For the cheese, I used pepperjack cheese and also topped this with Cheddar French Fried Onions. I will definitely make this again. - 4/12/11
