We really enjoyed this chicken! So easy to put together. I used some chicken tenders as they were on sale and really enjoyed the taste of tortilla chips as the coating. They got nice and crispy in the oven and still stayed pretty crunchy even after pouring on the salsa and cheese. I would highly recommend using fresh cilantro mixed with the salsa and not the jarred cilantro salsa... the fresh cilantro really added the best kick and we will be making this again!

These were some good chicken breasts! Very moist. I followed the directions exactly as posted. I loved how the tortilla crumbs added a little bit of unexpected crunch to the chicken. I used medium salsa which gave them a semi-hot kick. I served this with yellow rice. I would definitely make these again.

This chicken had a good flavor and was very moist. I served this with a black bean and orzo salad #4261. I think corn on the cob would be a good side as well.

This was good. I think I will marinate the chicken next time. This is a great dish if you are in a hurry.

Made this last week and it was wonderful. I have a very similar recipe that I make, and this was a nice change (a little easier). Thanks!
