"With four small children at home, I need quick yet filling meals," says Leticia Lewis of Kennewick, Washington. This fast family favorite is just 66 cents per sandwich. "For a spicier taste, eliminate the ketchup and increase the amount of salsa to 1 cup," she suggests.

My enntire family loves this recipe and I always have to make a double batch which is fine with me because then I have leftovers for lunch! Yummy

This has become a regular in our house, we love it. I sauteed the veggies in olive oil instead of butter.

I made this lastnight for dinner. A total of 4 people and i can not tell you how much they loved it. I had to double the ingredients slighty, hungry eater's were coming over. I would not change a thing about this recipe. The flavor can be played with depending on how spicy you want it/ Very fun and I will be definitely be making this again. I'm considering trying the recipe with a shredded pork.

My son RAVED about these sandwiches and thinks they're even better than barbecued beef or sloppy Joes! I did add about a half a teaspoon of liquid smoke, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly. A couple of boneless, skinless chicken breasts yielded enough meat to make six sandwiches, so it's economical too. I loved the crunch of the celery. Add a few potato chips and a dill pickle spear on the side and you feel like you're eating in a sandwich shop!

I didn't have onion on hand, so I used chives and garlic powder instead. I also don't care for celery, so I substituted celery seed. I served it with slices of baguette instead of on a bun as well and it was delicious! Will definitely make again!

I'm usually not very picky about my food at all. I love sloppy joes so I thought I might like these. I really was not impressed with the flavor, there was way too much of a sweet taste. I do actually wonder if the sauce would taste better with beef.

This is now one of my favorite recipes. The flavor is awesome and easy it is to make. I frequently cook chicken breast to freeze so I always have cooked chicken ready.

Been making this recipe for awhile. Easily doubled, I frequently make it for birthday parties for my children.

I agree; these sandwiches are awesome! The flavor is so good (a little sweet with the brown sugar and a little spicy from the kick of the salsa; perfect combo). Honestly, you don't even need bread or buns to serve this with because the chicken is wonderful by itself. A recipe that I will make often, esp. for my friends who loved it so much.
