Delicious! We didn’t like the fire roasted tomatoes too much though so I started using healthy salsa instead and that gave it the more complex taste we wanted. My whole family loves it! We also serve it with light sour cream.

I really enjoyed it. I had left over chicken breast that I used. Really easy and quick since the chicken was precooked. I added sour cream. Yes I will make this again. This would be phenomenal over a salad. Thank you again for another recipe that my husband enjoys.

I made this and I liked it. BUT, I'm not sure it's the recipe in the picture. The picture shows something like parsley which isn't in the recipe. And the chicken looks like a chicken which is boiled tender and separated by forks rather than cut and sautéed. Additionally the spices look different (in color) and there are no tortilla chips in the picture. So I felt it was tasty and filling (so a success) but not really what was shown in the picture.

This was a very easy recipe that everyone in my family enjoyed. If you love Mexican, you will really enjoy this healthy meal.

My nachos didn't look anything like the picture above but it was delish!! Next time-and there will be a next time--I'll add onions & bell peppers to get more veggies in there. With this recipe I think you could add a quart of chicken stock to it while still on the stove it would make a nice soup. You could than garnish it with crushed tortilla chips and cilantro. It's hot in Texas and you can omit turning your oven on, just a thought.
