  1. My family's favorite recipe. I've made it at least 20 times. Had to come back on to reprint it and decided to review. I always double it for leftovers and they always go fast. I also use a frozen ice cube cilantro to save time since we make this so often. No other changes except my husband and I prefer ours on top of white rice with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes. Kids eat theirs as burritos. Thanks for posting our favorite!!
     
  2. We've been enjoying this recipe since 2008! Kids love it, adults love it! If you can start with a pre-cooked chicken, it's super fast! Sometimes I use frozen cilantro cubes from Trader Joe's, to give it more cilantro flavor. And instead of 1 cup green salsa, I use a whole jar of Trader Joe's green salsa. Super good with cotija cheese too. This recipe keeps and reheats well too. My 3 boys love it!! Thank you so much!
     
  3. Delicious. I subbed the cilantro for 1/2 tsp of coriander powder and used the chicken to make fantastic enchiladas. Will use frequently.
     
  4. I made this last night and it was very good! Followed the recipe except I didn' thave green chili salsa so I added a little bit of ortega green sauce and I used regular oregano because I didn't have mexican oregano. The lime added to the meat made it even better. Very easy to make...thanks for posting.
     
  5. I have made these several time and my family loves them - don't forget the fresh lime squeezed over the meat before serving! Delicious.
