     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

    I never thought of making my own chips! Thanks for the great idea!

     Excellent and super easy. I added sliced poblano, yellow, and orange peppers, and mushrooms. Put it in low carb tortillas with lettuce. Great dinner! Would give it 5 stars but it won't let me select any, - 2/24/14

     This meal was a hit with my whole family! Even my picky eater ate this up and loved it! I added black beans like another commenter suggested and really liked it. - 4/16/13

     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.

     This is a great recipe. I added black beans as suggested by a fellow Sparker and also spiced it up a bit. The salsa must be chunky! Definitely a keeper - 2/9/20
