This turned out very good! I did make a few changes that I feel helped it out a little. How can you have Mexican anything without Cumin? I added about a half teaspoon and it helped tremendously. I also used 2-14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes since I did not have any fresh ones. Will use 3 cans next time. Another thing, the whole chicken I used had a lot of extra fat on it. I sliced this fat very thin and rendered it out before I did anythingl That left quite a bit of oil in the skillet but sure did flavor the dish. I did skim off all the grease from the dish before serving. Will definitely make it again.

I live in a little house with my husband and my three "puppies" (all dogs are puppies to me, no matter how old they are). We have no children as of yet. I love to cook, but not to clean, and I won't cook unless my kitchen is clean, so I don't cook as much as I should. Some of my other hobbies are: role playing games, reading, SCA, garage saleing, and sewing. I am a pack rat, but I am trying to cut back on that, and I have far too many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.(If there is such a thing.)
