This is a good recipe to do when we have leftover chicken and don't know what to eat. It's done in just a few minutes. Next time DH asked me to put the salsa before the cheese. Thanks RaeMay :) Made for Cookbook tag game

This is so quick, easy and super tasty! Mixed the salsa with the chicken then the cheese on top and served over a quick Mexican flavored rice, excellent!

I made this with left over grilled chicken and some mexican blend cheese. It was nice to be able to throw together dinner and not have to worry about pots and pans. I do think that cooking the salsa with the chicken and then adding the cheese on top would improve the flavor a bit (although I could be way wrong on this!) and I will try it that way next time! Thanks for posting! Made for New Kids on the Block Tag April 2010!

Made this for lunch. It was quick and easy to make. I think I would have liked this a bit better if my chicken would have been seasoned with taco seasoning other then just grilled chicken. I added the salsa and cooked it with the chicken and then topped with cheese and melted that. Made for Spring PAC 2011.
