This was so good. It was better than I thought it would be! I cut the recipe in half, but now am wishing I hadn't, so I could have leftovers. My 5 year old daughter LOVED this and had 3 servings!!! My one year old loved it too. I used frozen corn and frozen chicken breasts. I served over brown rice and we put chopped avocados on top. So yummy!

I substituted 4 oz sour cream for 4 of the 8 oz of neufchatel cheese, and added some shredded cheddar on top of each bowlful. I also used frozen corn rather than canned. It was a little soupy at first, but thickened upon standing. Using a mild salsa, this dish was blander than I prefer. Next time I'd use a medium or spicy salsa, and add some fresh peppers as well. Thanks for an enjoyable recipe! I will make this again.

Wow! This one is a winner at our house. One daughter likes it over white rice with chopped avocados on top, and the other daughter likes it in a wrap with cheddar cheese. I did use frozen corn and added chopped onion. Also my husband doesn't like chunks of salsa so I gave it a spin in the blender before adding to the mix.
