Good recipe. But can I use any other sauce than picante-style sauce!

Alternatives to salsa picante
If what you're trying to avoid is any semblance of chile and its heat, you could use a can of stewed tomatoes, a super mild salsa, or a guacamole without chile that's made with tomatoes and onions. Or, if you don't mind the thought of chopping up a couple of tomatoes, make your own salsa without any chiles in it. However, if you are looking for simple, easy, and no bother, I'd go with the stewed tomatoes. Once stirred in with the chicken and cooked, there's not much difference, other than the heat.
