I used a 16 oz. jar of salsa and didn't need to thicken-I also added a drained can of black beans and served over rice-great!!

I tried this recipe when I was looking for something to make so I wouldn't have to go to the store! The family really liked it and it will be a keeper. The only thing I will change next time is to either cut back on the corn starch a little or add some more liquid - it got pretty thick but other than that the flavor was really good..

This is excellent! Low fat, low calories, low carb, high taste and flavor, plus EASY! I followed the simple recipe, then at the end I added a can of black beans and a cup of corn when thickening the sauce. I also shredded the chicken and we ate it rolled into tortillas. Thank you!

This recipe has been a family favorite for 15+ years. It is very versatile, meaning you can serve it over rice, or as chicken tacos. We like it with black beans and rice, but sometimes fat free refried beans for something different. If you leave out the sour cream and serve the sour cream on the side, it's just as good.

This is absolutely delicious. My sauce was too thick but that's because I forgot the water. I also used thighs but I'm sure it would be just as wonderful with breasts. And so easy.
