Dinner's done!”

I thought this sounded good but might be lacking in flavor so I made a few additions. I added 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 diced white onion, 1 piece of chopped bacon for flavor, and 2 mushrooms sliced.I sauteed the bacon first then put on a plate to drain. Then I browned the chicken on both sides and transfered to plate. I Then sauteed the onion, garlic, and mushroom.Add remaining ingredients and return bacon and chicken to pan and simmer for 10 minutes. I also garnished with a little lite sour cream and fresh chopped cilantro. This was delicious! My husband loved it!

Although, many people like this recipe, I really didn't like it. If you don't really like chilly powder and a lot of beans, you won't like it that much. I thought the salsa would be good, but I guess you really have to like beans to like it.

Quick fix indeed! I doubled the bean mixture and used medium salsa. Served with a side salad, as recommended, and it was a delicious, fast meal after a busy day.

Great and Easy recipe! I have made this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, also. My husband and I like dark meat, too. I have also added garlic powder to the chicken. I have substituted the oil for bacon grease from 2 slices of cut up bacon and used the bacon pieces to spread on top before serving. I have added garlic powder, onion powder and a pinch of salt and pepper to the beans and corn and allowed to cook for 2 minutes before adding the salsa.No matter how you make it, it turns out GREAT! DELICIOUS...

I made this recipe for my family tonight and everyone loved it! I doubled the chili powder mixture though and used mild salsa. Already had requests for this recipe and I plan on adding it to my frequent chicken recipes!

My fussy husband even loved this. Only the two of us so I only used 2 Chicken Breasts. But made the recipe same. I did add garlic. Only request from him was use HOT salsa next time. Yummy Yummy Yummy

I have a toddler who loved the bean and corn mixture. The leftover chicken was shredded, I mixed everything together, put it on a tortilla with some cheese and it was good the second time around as well.

It had flavor, but very bland to my pallet. Dont get me wrong, it was good but not to my standard of taste.
