I really love the simplicity of this recipe and have made it several times. This evening, I decided to kick it up a notch. I had made tacos a few days ago, and had taco seasoning left over (recipe from this site.) I liberally sprinkled the taco seasoning on the breasts, then pan cooked them for about 15 minutes. I opened a can of red kidney beans, drained them, and poured them on the bottom of the casserole dish (I used a 9x11 dish). I placed the chicken breasts on top of the beans, added the salsa and the cheese. I then spooned about 1/2 can of diced tomatoes between the breasts. Since I like hot spices, I took a large jalepeno pepper from the garden, sliced it into circles, laid them on the breasts, then added more cheese to cover. Served with Spanish rice, this was a huge hit.

Very good recipe - I would suggest grilling the chicken breasts on the gas grill instead of poaching them to give them a deeper flavor. I also added about 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/2 cup of salsa to the chicken mixture to take it up a notch. If you have a gas stove, place the tortillas on the burner of the stove for about 20 seconds to gently char them before filling and rolling them.

Very good, comforting soup. I substitute 1/2 cup sour cream for 1/2 cup of the milk. Add some fresh basil and use an immersion mixer to puree it all. Freezes very well.
