I prepared this for a party and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it! The only changes I made were that I grilled the chicken beforehand about 80% done and then I put the pieces in the oil with some taco seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. I took other reviewers advice and used instant rice, but I used Mexican flavored rice (like rice-a-roni) instead of plain white rice. Also, I used a Mexican cheese blend instead of just cheddar. This is a GREAT dish (and so easy) and I'll be making it again for the family in the near future.

Loved the recipe. Easy and Delicious. I use brown rice so that took a little longer to cook, but after that the ingredients went together quickly. I also threw in a can of black beans (rinsed). Got rave reviews from my husband.

i made a few changes and it was great! i fed 4 hungry teenagers and have a large bowl leftover. great cheap and quick dinner. i cut the broth in half and added a 1/3 more salsa. i also seasoned the chicken with taco seasoning and sauteed a small yellow onion with the chicken.

I was pretty disappointed with this dish. It was really just a filling for a burrito rather than a meal that stands on its own. It tasted good, but I couln't have imagined serving it without it stuffed in a taco shell.

A tad bland. I will use the suggestions of others and play with it.

A good quick recipe to use when the imagination just doesn't want to work. I too added taco seasoning to the chicken while it cooked, and it turned out great. I used Medium salsa, and just a warning: this definitely gets hotter the next day (much like anything with spice). Very tasty though.

This is a great last minute dinner! As a busy mom of 3 kids all under age 5, this was a cinch to make. It's tasty as is, but fun to play with too. I used fresh salsa and mexican blend shredded cheese (what I had on hand). I cook the chicken with dried minced garlic, onion and a dash of cumin. I also subbed in instant brown rice for the white rice and topped each serving off with a tablespoon of lowfat sour cream. I didn't feel a lick of guilt gobbling this down! This one's goin' in my recipe box! Thanks!

This is a fantastic go-to dish! I'm sure that I've made it for everybody I know at some point. Experiment with different salsas and cheeses. I used a fajita salsa with pepperjack on top - awesome!

Very cheesy! I followed the recipe as is and found the chicken to be a little bland for my taste. No problem, that is completely fixable. My husband didn't see it as a complete meal though. I have to figure out what to serve it with next time.

My FAVORITE! I have made this recipe about 5 or 6 times already and love it! It is super simple and delicious. I never have instant rice on hand, so I just use regular rice. I also add a dab or two of sour cream before serving and I add less cheese than the recipe calls for. Other than that, it is perfect!!!

I changed things slightly to fit my family's tastes. I added a bit more mexican kick by tossing the cubed chicken in taco seasoning before cooking. I used brown rice to make it a bit healthier and I only used a sprinkling of cheese instead of the recommended amount. Then I served it up with a dolop of fat free sour cream and home made guacamole. It was fantastic. The leftovers will be great to use as a burrito filling. My husband is a diabetic and this recipe is chock full of flavor, protein and, since I used brown rice, has healthy carbohydrates for him to enjoy.

This was great. I was not sure if two cups of rice meant cooked or uncooked so I only put one bag of uncooked rice in and it needed more so I put two. Hopefully that will help anyone else that may be wondering. It is definitely worth tryig.

This recipe turned out great and was so easy! My husband did not like it as much as I did though. I cooked up some brown rice separate and served the salsa chicken over top of the rice and then sprinkled cheddar cheese on top. To make the chicken sauc, I first sauteed half of a medium onion in some butter and then I added the chicken cubes. I cooked the chicken in salt and pepper, and then squirted lime juice on top to give it some zing. Then I added a whole 16 oz tub fresh summer salsa and let it simmer with the chicken until it reduced a bit. Then I added 1/2 cup of sour cream to make it a cream sauce. I served it over the brown rice then added cheese. I think next time I will go ahead and mix it with the rice. I think this would make an excellent filling for tacos or burritos! Thanks for the recipe, it gave me some great ideas and I will DEFINATELY make this again!!!
