On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.—Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska

So fast and easy. Even my "no casserole" teen son liked this one. It will definitely be added to our regular menu rotation.As noted by others, I used a can of Rotel instead of salsa. I also used a little less chili powder and added a bit of Chipotle Chili Powder on it. Spicy, but we like spice!

i made this with a precooked blend of brown and wild rice, and even though i completely forgot the corn it was still delicious! The chili powder really makes all the difference. Next time though i'll only add a half tsp and the corn is going in. :)

Tasty & fast! I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and substituted the salsa for a can of diced tomatoes w/ green chilies. I also had leftover long grain brown rice, so I eliminated the chicken stock and used my already cooked rice. Great dish!

I was looking for a way to use leftover roasted chicken and found this recipe. My whole family, 18mon old & 6 yr old (who eats next to nothing) included really liked this dish. I added black beans and a whole can of chicken broth so the rice wouldn't be crunchy. I think this is a great way to use leftover chicken and I had everything else on hand so no special shopping trip needed which I really liked!

This was just delicious. So easy to make and tastes wonderful. My husband loved it, especially the added zing with the chili powder. I serve this with fresh breadmaker bread and it is a hit.

Delicious! Kids loved it and it was even yummy with severe morning sickness! I made brown rice with a cup of chicken broth & only used 1/2 cup of salsa to compensate.
