  Can't believe this has not been rated yet. Tried it with lemon juice, was good, but will also try with lime juice to compare. Why this hasn't hit Editors Choice, I can't imagine. This is DIABETIC FRIENDLY. - 4/15/07

  Okay so this is amazing!!! I didn't use cheese though I used black beans and added them to the pan when everything was simmering. Wow it is moist and soooo tasty!! Try it! - 4/20/09

  Easy to make and my whole family loved the dish. It is also good the next day. I would recommend not adding the cheese until you are ready to serve so that the cheese doesn't melt too much. I have already made this dish twice, that's how much we liked it. Thanks! - 7/2/09

  This was very good! The sauce is really great over Southwestern Beans and Rice too, and it makes GREAT leftovers! I will definitely make this again. My hubby liked it too. - 6/17/09

  I made this last night and everyone loved it. I got some comments about how it didn't look that pleasing to the eye, but that it still tasted great. I would maybe add some diced red tomatoes and cilantro on top to give it some color. Thanks for the great recipe! - 7/15/08

  Fantastic! Really does taste a lot like the Applebee's dish. Made my own salsa from a recipe on this site, will definitely be combining ranch and salsa for my normal salad dressing now. Will be in high rotation in my house! Will likely add black beans to add fiber, and serve over brown rice! - 1/13/09

  Tried this yesterday, salsa (I made) really added a zest. was easy to divide the calories by 8 to calculate my calorie intake. My guys (husband, son, grandson) loved it. Its a repeater! Froze half for another day. - 6/21/09

  Tried this dish tonight. A bit too tart for my taste. I will cut the lime juice in half next time, but still liked it well enough that I'll fix it again. (Went well with Southwestern Beans and Rice dish.) - 2/10/09

  Served this with Santa Fe Beans and Rice and some steamed southwest veggies. My husband said he thought it was too indulgent for a weeknight meal (we're strict through the week, have a cheat meal on the weekend.) He was thrilled when I told him how low calorie this was, saying he'd never know. - 7/12/08

  YUMMO!! I used lite parmasan peppercorn ranch dressing-that's the only ranch I had. It had 2 grams of fat for every 2 tbs. So it added a few more fat grams. I pounded the chicken thin and cooked them on my Foreman Grill, then followed the rest of the recipe. The whole family went crazy! Thanks !!! - 10/12/07

  Wow! This recipe was loved by everyone. I made it with brown basmai rice and it had so much flavor my family didn't even realize I fed them "healthy" rice! I did use regular ranch dressing because I hate fat free. The only other change I'd make is I'd make a double recipe nexttime for leftovers! - 6/9/09

  I made this for my husband and I. The only thing I would do differently next time is to put the cheese in closer to the time the chicken is done. Most of the cheese melted off and I didn't really taste it. But other wise, both my husband and I really enjoyed it. - 8/30/07

  I liked this and found it to be tasty & healthy. My boyfriend agreed but said the sauce looked "sketchy" at first b/c it kind of resembles russian dressing. One problem though, when I simmered w/ lid on, the sauce got watery :( ill be making this one a lot (no more lid though!) - 5/18/07

  Dr Cate has written A tome on the debilitating and (my word) poisonous effects of vegetable oils on human DNA. Why do you mention salad dressing in an otherwise healthy recipe.

  Love this recipe, though I make a couple of changes. First, I pat the dry chicken breast with some reduced sodium taco seasoning. Then I grill it on a George Foreman grill till done, before putting it on a baking sheet. I spoon the salsa/ranch mix on top, then the cheese, and broil it toll melted. - 12/17/13
