This was great! I added a can of black beans, and didn't add the peppers until the last hour. Served it with rice and tortillas. My family loved it!!

It did seem the cook time was long, making the chicken a little dry.

This was sooo good! My family really enjoyed it. I modified it a bit and added a dab of sour cream to the top before I put on the cilantro. I will DEFINITELY make this again. Preperation was easy too. Yum!

This was just great! We have decided to be on an eat healthier kick and this is a great addition to my recipes! I added a can of black beans to a doubled recipe, but otherwise it is a great dinner ready to serve!

I tried this 2 weeks ago. To me it was a little bland.

This was amazing!!!! My 7 year old son loved this. Very simple to make & healthy. I did use the whole taco seasoning packet for extra spice.I served this over brown rice with sliced green onions. I will definitely be making this again. This is a keeper!!!

Very very good and pretty healthy too. My husband added some red hot to his and I agreed that it could use a little kick. Maybe I'll add something for this next time. Also really easy to make.

Have tried this recipe many different ways. The most popular for my family is layering everything over yellow rice with saffron. I also added a minced jalapeno pepper to give it a kick and it came out perfect. Guess this version is a keeper.
