Great meal

The meal was fantastic, however the ingredients said use a cube of maggi..I don't know how much that is and it annoys me. Fix it sometime

good recipe

I made this with a jar of medium salsa and it must have been smaller than the jar the chef used, because I had to add extra water a couple times. Came out good, though. We enjoyed it.

Delish

Yummy I tried this when my family had no idea what to eat for dinner only a few peices of chicken and we had an extra jar of salsa!! It was quick easy to prep and a great meal in it self! no need for a side! I do think it's best with the corn and black bean salsa!!! YUMMY!

Family pleaser

My family (including kids 6 and 2) loved this meal. It was easy to put together, especially since I had cooked the chicken ahead of time. (I boil a big pot full, cube or shred, then freeze in meal-size portions.)
