My niece Debbie gave me this recipe, and I love it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This chicken casserole is perfectly creamy (thanks to the soups), and the salsa gives it a nice zip. While baking, the chicken soaks up the flavor of the salsa and cream soup sauce. With a layer of gooey melted cheese on top, this is an easy weeknight chicken dinner your family will request.
