Wonderful smells were coming out of my kitchen when I walked in the door after work, even my son said, "Oh man, that smells good!" We all liked this a lot and it mixed up so quick I was able to throw it in the crockpot when I came home for lunch. Originally was going to give it 4 stars because my 6 year olds were not really crazy about the spice, but I decided on a 5 star rating when I realized that I could combine the leftovers with a couple of cans of cream of chicken soup and more salsa and chicken broth and make a wonderful santa fe chicken soup. The leftovers sound almost better than the original dish. This will be a staple recipe at our house. Thanks much!

A really easy and tasty meal, but I agree with Skipp's kitchen that the result was a bit soupy. I just cooked up some onions and red peppers and added them at the end, which bulked it up nicely, plus added extra vitamins! I also added some chipotle sauce for added spice and a smoky flavour. All in all, a lovely meal, definitely a keeper. Thanks!
