A great meal for a cold, windy, rainy night. I cut the recipe in half, kept the garlic and chipotle per original and left out the green pepper because I don't like them cooked. This was total comfort food! Thanks for sharing Noo! Made for ***PRMR***

Great comfort dish! I love these one-pot meals -- all you need is a salad or veggie of your choice. I made the recipe as directed with the exception that I used a large can of tomato sauce and I added some cumin to the dish. I also used bone-in, but skinless, chicken thighs. Made for PRMR, January, 2014.

Very good and filling! Made as directed except I used bone-in chicken and thus cooked the chicken longer than directed. Also my tomato sauce was a larger can (but probably with the larger chicken pieces it worked out for the best anyways). Very good meal which we enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
