This is wonderful. My husband, who is not a chicken fan had 2 helpings. It was very easy to make.
We love it

Angie James from Cartersville, GA

This dish has great flavor. I will make it again for sure.
Sooo Good!!

Niki Bell from Mabank, TX

This recipe is wonderful! It was very quick and easy, and topping it with Cilantro and Sour Cream really adds to the flavor. We also ate ours with Tostitos for a nice crunch. I didn't think my husband would like it, and in fact, I made a bet with his mom that he wouldn't. But to my surprise, he cleaned his plate and said that he really enjoyed it. I love this website and keep the recipes coming!

Tried this recipe and it was wonderful. So easy and such a wonderful taste. Will definitely be making this again. I used Mozzarella cheese and I didn't add the red pepper because I didn't have any on hand, but it turned out great.
Easy and fast.

The Best

This was a hit with the family. Kids loved it so did my meat and potatoes man.
Delicious and so easy

Andrea Facio from Alaska

My husband loved it and has been asking to have it again ever since the first time I made it. Wrap leftovers in a tortilla for a delicious lunch the next day. You could add a can of black beans for extra nutrition. We also like to put garlic in everything too and I hate bell peppers so I just omit them. Definitely a delicious and quick meal for an excellent weeknight dinner.
THE BEST!!!!!

My husband and I absolutley love this recipe!!! I found the exact recipe in a magazine last week and we tried it and liked it so much we're having it twice this week!! It's easy and inexpensive to make...can't beat it!!!
Great adult food

Teri Hansen from Yakima, WA USA

This was an excellent dish for adults. My kids refused to eat it when they saw the onions. At first my husband and I were a little scared to try it, but we both really liked it. It was easy, fast, and used ingredients I had on hand. We used our favorite homemade salsa. I also liked how many vegetables were in each serving, and how little fat. I will make it again when we have an evening without the kids. I might make it for my lunches--the left-overs were great! We used low-fat Sour Cream and I was pleased to find a healthy dinner my husband actually enjoyed.
