This was very enjoyable and easy to make. I used previously poached chicken breasts and made exactly as stated. Skipped the cheese and sour cream to save a few calories. Next time, I will add a chopped green pepper. Thanks. -
Excellent recipe! Great flavor! -
This was super easy to make-something I really appreciate! I cooked the chicken in the microwave, sauted the onions and the spices, then put all the ingredients in a crock pot on low heat and left it until dinner. It was delicious just as it was to my husband and me, but next time I will cut down on the chili powder for the sake of the kids! Thanks for a great recipe! -
Awesome flavorful stuff! One of my freezer staples and a meal that my husband and I both enjoy. It's so much better with homemade stock. In fact, the Cooking Light article this recipe came from was on making chicken stock from a whole chicken, which I just posted (#118881). The CL version of this recipe also adds a can of drained black beans. Thanks, NurseDi, for posting a wonderful and healthy recipe!
