Use whole pieces. Open can of diced tomatoes and package of taco seasoning. Combine with chicken in microwave safe dish so the chicken, tomatoes and taco seasoning are well distributed. Layer sliced potatoes on top of chicken mixture in a single layer, leaving the middle empty for venting. Top with cheese. Cover with lid or plastic wrap and place in microwave. Microwave on HIGH for 12 minutes* or until potatoes and chicken are done. Let sit for two minutes. Use oven mitts to carefully remove from microwave and serve.
