Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I boiled the chicken with onion, green pepper, fresh garlic, Salt & Pepper. Drained it all out and then I shredded it. I added an entire bottle of Salsa and 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese. Next time I may add Sour Cream too. Got rave reviews from teenagers and adults.

I made this today and it was absolutely wonderful!!! I only made half the recipe since there is only 2 of us and it was perfect. Like others, I added more taco seasoning and put some cheese on top for the last 5 minutes. I was super good!!

Everyone loved it! Next time I'm going to try medium salsa verde. I have hungry teenage boys so I doubled the recipe and made 2 9x12s and a small casserole for 2 for my mom. Thanks for the recipe.

I added a little extra cumin and chili powder along with an entire packet of taco seasoning. I also added a can of rotel because I didn't have much salsa. My oven is broke so I couldn't bake it with cheddar cheese on top like I wanted to, so I stirred a little in.My boyfriend and I enjoyed this, but I'm not 100% sure I will make this again.
