I did not like this recipe. I will not make it again. I thought the taste of the green salsa was too strong, but the rest was pretty bland. I didn't like it.

I just made this for dinner tonight; it was a huge hit! I used Tyson frozen diced chicken breasts, which I always have on hand in the freezer; I added the required amount to the pasta during the last five minutes of cooking. I used sliced green onions from my grocer's produce section, to save more time. For the green chile salsa, which I have a hard time finding in Miami, I used Pace Salsa Verde, measuring out 1 1/4 cup, since it comes in a 16-oz. jar. I spread some of what was left in the jar on top of individual servings before serving. It was great! Paired with a salad and a nice bottle of chilled white wine, my husband pronounced it, "Delicious!" It's a keeper.
