I think this is a base recipe, and it could use some tweaking. D didn't use rotisserie chicken (which we suspect was used because we couldn't get the calories remotely near the ones called out.). He sauteed a pound of chicken breast with some Southwest Seasoning. Also next time I'm going to check the tomato sauce...it seemed to have sugar in it. Maybe just use 2 cans of Rotel and be done with it. And add some cilantro.
I think having again, with some tweaking would work. D said it was simple to make.
We had with a salad.

Trying this one tonight...
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you tweaked it or what. I liked it better for 2 days of left overs. But I definitely needed cilantro (which I love).
ReplyDeleteThis was a hit! I cooked the chicken with some chipotle seasoning I had laying around (Weber brand) and cayenne. I also added a small can of green chiles and excluded the tomato sauce like you mentioned.
