I just have to comment that there is a place in Arizona called Tucson and there is no reason to assume the writer "meant Tuscan" and make rude comments. Do a little checking before making a comment like that, as there are other options. I think the recipe is a nice base and can be "tweaked" to fit many different tastes, to include lowering the sodium.

This was a great basic recipe. I never use commercial taco seasoning since I found the Zaar. The salt issue has averted through the use of #4292, with some homemade tweaks, and using chicken 'stock' instead of commercial broth. It makes a big difference. I see no reason to get downright RUDE in the comments. Criticism is supposed to be used to learn from, not to discourage. ;) I had to super-size this recipe for a church crowd. I used uncooked chicken pieces and the same cooking times. I think it worked better this way, as to not over cook. Thanks for the recipe Judikins. :)

I'm a Midwesterner, turned Northwesterner for 30 years and finally a Southwesterner. I retired in 1995 and have had time to enjoy, even more, the things I love, like cooking and entertaining special people in our home--family and good friends. Fortunately, my husband enjoys cooking too (one pot meals), so he relieves me a few times a month.
