Made this for dinner this evening since it's the first day of school and my children both love chicken.  It was so easy to make, but looks like you spent hours preparing.  I'm a very happy mom, they loved it!  Thanks so much for sharing.

So easy and delicious  thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this recipe!  It was easy to prepare  quickly after work and it was delicious.  My husband and son even loved it and they are picky :)-

Wow  this recipe is  Great!!! So full of flavor

I was looking for a Mexican dish with chicken breast and happened upon this one. It did have 5 stars but that was with only 4 reviews. It looked good and also didn’t require a lot of ingredients or prep and cooking time. I followed the suggestion to serve it with black beans and Spanish rice. I wish I had taken a picture of it on the plates. It looked really good and even better it tasted amazing. I have a very picky husband who can be hard to please.  I asked him what he thought and he said “ I give it 5 stars and you need to go out and give her 5 stars on her site”. So yes, this one is definitely 5 stars and will be a bi-weekly meal for us from now on.  I loved it and it’s so easy to make!!

Amazing. Said I would give this a try tonight as I had made my own salsa. It was amazing. Will absolutely be trying this again. Thank you for recipe

I was surprised by how well this recipe turned out, since it's so easy. I used a meat thermometer and pulled the chicken out when it reached 165 degrees, and it was SO moist with great flavor. I'll definitely make this again, thank you Amy!

Easy, Excellent and impressive  when it is put on the table.  I will definitely make it a favorite!

This recipe was delicious!  I did add one can of black beans, one chopped jalapeño and fresh corn to the bottom of the casserole dish and topped it as per the recipe.  It was AMAZING!  I served it with a simple salad dressed with fresh lime juice, EVOO, a dash of cumin and chipotle Chile powder for a super health dinner!  Absolutely loved by ALL my family!  Thank you for sharing this!!!
