Amazingly fast and easy meal! And tasty! One reviewer mentioned the chicken was dry; just make sure the breasts are all pounded or cut to a thickness of less than 2". It would be great with some added fresh, chopped tomato and cilantro. I wish dinner was this easy every night!

Easy and very moist chicken. My daughter said it had the same flavor of a dish she orders at her favorite recipe.

This was delicous! The kids couldn't handle the spice so I had to tone down the chili the second time around. I paired it with long grain and wild rice instead.
