    This was super easy and super good, especially with a serving of black beans (1/2 cup adds 110 calories & 1g fat, but 6g of fiber and 7g of protein). - 4/3/09

    I made this tonight and the smell alone was almost too much for my family. They were hovering around the kitchen waiting for it! I served it on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes and diced onion and turned it into a chicken taco salad kinda thing. Gosh... FANTASTIC recipe!! - 4/27/09

    On the ingredients for the recipe calculator, you didn't put in the taco seasoning. I think your calories are not correct. - 4/8/09

    I made this last night. It was amazing. My husband said that I can definitley make it again. I did add some cheese so it changed the nutrition content and a little ranch since I as out of sour cream. I also added some different spices to the taco seasoning. I will DEFINITLEY make it again. - 4/3/09

    Oh my gosh - so good! So easy, I shredded it and made a taco salad with it for lunch today! A little goes a long way - I added it to lettuce, corn, avacado and a little bit of spanish rice and black beans. YUM! - 4/9/09

    It was great! You can use different kinds of taco seasonings for an extra kick. I used Ortega's Jalapeno and Onion. If you like it spicy and hot, it hits the spot! - 3/31/09

    I made this on stove top. To make a little more moist, work with lemon/lime juice. Serve with black beans and some avacodo. A good easy meal. - 4/23/09

    This is fabulous! I used cream of chicken soup. 1/3rd cup taco seasoning ( as we buy in bulk), and 1 cup chunky salsa sauce. We served this over rice. Topped with cheese, sour cream, olives, onions. Served with a salad and cornbread. Very good! - 4/18/09

    Just tried this last night and was amazed at how simple and how great it was. I skipped the sour cream and used a medium chunky salsa. I added baked beans as a side and a small salad. A coworker was so impressed I had to print her out the recipe. Thanks for a great meal idea! - 4/15/09

    I made this last night and I will be making this again. It was a welcome change to my chicken breast dinner routine. It was well flavored and moist. I am concerned about the recipe's amount of sodium , but I'll just adjust my sodium intake for the rest of the day to take that into account. - 4/15/09

    I didn't have taco seasoning so I used chile seasoning. It was excellent. Only thing is, I think the calorie count is off. 4 oz. of chicken is more than 20 calories. Just so everybody can double check the numbers if they care. - 3/21/11

Afterward, we cut up the chicken, threw it on our plate with lettuce, tomato, black beans, rice, olives, scallions, onions and hot peppers and it was WONDERFUL.
