yummy, quick and simple. After reading the previous reviews I too omitted one can of soup. Family preference dictates no green chilies so I left those out too. The concept is easy and adaptable. One could easily vary the salsa, types of beans and even the meat with good results. I cannot wait to try this with pork or beef. This is a keeper!

This was our dinner tonight. I used kidney beans & pickled jalapenos, as well as adding extra chili powder, cumin & cayenne for our taste. There was a little too much liquid for our taste, so next time I'll cut this back. I served with guacamole, sour cream, extra cheese & tortillas. Thanks Lvs2Cook for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT3 for the Floozies

This is a fantastic recipe, it is quick and easy and delicious. It was so great to come home to dinner already made, and it only took me about 5 minutes to throw it all together. Because some of the other reviews said this was too watery, I decided to leave out the cream of mushroom soup. Still, I had to add some flour in to thicken it up. The only other change I made was to use taco sauce instead of salsa, since I don't really care for the chunks of vegetables in salsa. Thanks again for a great recipe, we'll be using this quite often.

Delicious, easy recipe. I made it exactly as stated, I just threw in a few extra chicken breasts. I would make a few changes next time though, which I believe might make it a 5-star recipe... I would use hot salsa instead of mild, and I would probably omit one of the cans of soup. It seemed like an awful lot of sauce for 6 chicken breasts. I thickened it up a bit with some flour 10 minutes before serving. We ate it on tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. It was delicious already, and with a few minor changes, will be a 5-start meal! I WILL be making this again!
