This was a nice change of a topping for baked potatoes. I replaced the taco seasoning and used recipe#28011 in its place. I also omitted the green chili's,cheddar cheese and salsa cause I didn't have any on hand at this time. I made recipe#152059 to have with this recipe. We enjoyed this for our dinner today. Also want to add that this was a easy and quick recipe. I microwaved my potatoes for 10 minutes and than finished them in the oven for 30 minutes while I was preparing the rest. I saunted chicken strips in olive oil and added the bell peppers and onions, than after chicken was no longer pink I added the black olives. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Very good recipe. I didn't have any solid potatoes, so I served it over some pre-fab mashed potatoes. Also threw some mushrooms in with the onions as I fried them. Good stuff.
