Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! -
mmmm this was soooo good!!! I made this for the super bowl and put it on some nachos and they were to die for! Only cooked it for about 6 hours and the chicken just fell apart... using the leftovers on tacos tomorrow night, cant wait! -
Delicious! The recipe didn't specify boneless or bone in but I used boneless,skinless chicken breasts. I was in a hurry so I made this in a dutch oven on the stove and simmered for about 3 hours. I added some diced chipotle peppers for the smokey flavor and it was soooo good! I used this for taco meat but it would be great for burritos, enchiladas or just on it's own. -
Wonderful - used green peppers in place of serrano. Colleagues saw this in the printer and everyone took a copy home - they won't be disappointed. Super easy with nearly no prep time at all. Also had half an onion that went in with a little lime juice too. -
This was delicious in the enchiladas I made! I had to eliminate the peppers because we have a toddler, but it was still great flavour!! Only had to cook for 5 hours on low. Used 2 lg chicken breast, 1.5 cups salsa, and 3 cloves of garlic and 1 tbsp of my homemade taco seasoning.

5 stars for flavour, ease of preparation and versatility! Serrano peppers aren't always easy to find here so I used half a large red bell pepper instead. I'll be trying this again with serrano peppers when I find them. Wonderful recipe. Thank you!
