I am big time chicken guy and this recipe seems like one I want to try. It seems the reviews are positive, but I am just a bit hesitant about mixing salsa and taco seasoning with a cream of soup base. The combination doesn’t seem natural.
But, it doesn’t hurt to try I guess. Thanks for the interesting recipe, my chicken won’t know what hit it. 😉

A tip for readers – DON’T try to cut the cooking time by cooking on high – I put this on high with frozen breasts with the intention to cook for a bit on high to thaw then turn down to low to finish. After coming back from a walk (maybe 90 min. later) the whole house smelled “burnt” – I peeked in the cooker & it was looking pretty brown around the edges. I fished out my chicken breasts & finished them in the oven at 375 (they were delicious for dinner, BTW, shredded in oven-baked chimichangas). I don’t blame the recipe – I’d try this again, but next time on low!

This looks healthy and delicious…I think I’ll sub the sour cream for Greek yogurt. Thanks for the fun idea.
