I came up with this while trying to put something together for a quick dinner to pack for work. I had some cooked chicken breasts in the fridge and threw this together. I kind of reverse engineered the recipe and made it starting with raw chicken breasts. This is really good! The cheese and salsa and ranch dressing melt together to form a creamy sauce. It was so good that I made it two nights in a row to take to work. Enjoy! Colette
