We enjoy Southwestern flavors and this six-ingredient recipe never gets boring. The chicken sizzles in the skillet before getting baked and comes out tender and juicy every time. —Nancy Sousley, Lafayette, Indiana

It was easy and the chicken was very moist. I thought it might be too spicy but not at all.

this has been on our dinner rotation since I found it in the magazine. First time I made it as stated. It was amazing for a low sodium meal, and we had everything on hand. I always stock up on the southwest seasoning by Mrs. Dash when I go to Target. They are the only store that always has it. We still make this recipe but now use green sauce and pepper jack cheese. We never have left overs unless I double the recipe. It taste just as good or better the next day, and I rarely eat leftovers.

I didn't want to buy the salt free blend just for this recipe so I mixed some taco seasoning and chipotle chile seasoning and sprinkled it on. Worked great!

OMG this is so delicious!!! so easy

OMG this is delicious!! So easy to make. Couldn't really find chipotle seasoning but found chipotle marinade (dry) and just sprinkled it with that and used a little more of the sauce than it called for. Yummy! Hubby gave it two thumbs up and even licked his plate! Guess that means he liked it! LOL
