My husband loves any spicy food. But this is one quick-fix and low-fat recipe we can both enjoy. While the chicken cooks, put together individual salads of packaged shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and avocado with a sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese. Dinner's done! —Christine Zongker, Spring Hill, Kansas

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.

My husband and I really liked this dish. Leftovers would make great chicken enchiladas.

DELICIOUS.... I have never made blackened chicken and never planned on it because I thought it was a very spicy dish. My sister got this recipe and tried it and her family loved it. So I decided to give it a try. I used only 1 tsp of the chilli powder and 1 tsp of papricka in place of the 2nd tsp of chilli powder. It was so delicious... My 4 year old gobbled it right down and wanted more. I love that she loved it so much especially since it didnt have any breading on it. I used olive oil and browned the chicken in the frying pan and then placed it in the oven on 350 for a bit to cook thru without drying it out. Thanks for such a light great tasting recipe!
