This is a winner of a recipe! Great taste, easy to prepare with staple ingredients, and healthy too. I used Amazing Taco Seasoning for the seasoning, and didn't use the sour cream. Loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Ole!!! These are so good and so easy! I think I might try making these and then freezing them, then when you want taco night - thaw and bake! Perfect! Thanks for posting Coffee!

So simple. I dded just a bit more potato for my husband. One half cup wouldn't do and increased the cooking time accordingly. The chicken came out super juicy. Next time I will add a bit more taco seasoning.

This was good and really easy to make. I did change up the recipe a bit. I used simply potatoes instead of cutting up my own potatoes. I doubled the rest of the recipe using thin chicken cutlets. I also but everything in one pan and covered with foil and made on the grill. I used taco sauce and not the salsa. Next time I would mix the taco seasoning and taco sauce together before putting it on the chicken. Hubby said he also thought I should have put cheese on top of the potatoes, then the chicken with more cheese. We thought the potatoes didn't get all the flavor that the chicken did. This was really good and we will be making again.
