Variation

Substitute lean ground beef for the chicken. Omit oil. Brown meat and drain before adding peppers.

Chili powder is a powdered seasoning mix that is available in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Despite the name, it's not hot and spicy, but it does add a nice touch of Tex-Mex flavor.

This was fast, easy and good. Add crushed up tortilla chips to the top for some crunch!

I've made this twice now, once with sour cream, and once without -- and it was wonderful both ways. :) One hint for people in a hurry, Louis rich mexican flavored pre-made chicken strips are a wonderful substittute for browning the chicken yourself .. and they're pre-seasoned which adds a slightly spicier flavor... :)

I made this dish twice. Both times I had cousins here and they both enjoyed them. This recipe is a hit and I love making it.

Unbelievably easy. Very good flavors. Used low fat sour cream but would use full fat sour cream next time. Also reheated well!

My husband doesn't like peppers, so I left those out, but it was still very good!

My niece made this for Sunday dinner. It was very simple and so tasty. Definately an easy weeknight meal that I am gonna give a try. To kick it up a notch, I think I will add some pepperjack cheese. Definate crowd pleaser. There were 13 of us in all and no one complained.
