Cutting Green OnionsI recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

Quick, easy and delicious. I used canned chicken and ready rice (the 90sec microwave kind) and it was still amazing. Love the addition of cilantro. Will definitely make this again. Great potluck dish!

I made this for dinner tonight with a nice pan of cornbread. The men at the table asked for seconds. I will definitely make this dish again soon! I love the fact that everything in the dish is healthy; the only change I made was to use brown rice, and roasted my own peppers.

My family (including two picky young boys) love this recipe and I sneak in a few extra veggies!

I added a bit more taco seasoning to this recipe for added pazzaz. My Son says it is a make again!

Delicious stuff! I eliminated the egg. Also leftovers can be used for taco filling.

This was really good, and I will add this to our rotation! I did cut the chicken down and I will add more taco sauce next time. But very good!

Made this dish for dinner, which included my daughter & her family. The only thing I changed was I used med Taco sauce. It was very pretty & good. Next time, I will heat it up some with peppers. My 2 yr old grandson loved it with chips.

I made this as indicated, except without the green onions. It was good but not exceptional enough to make again. Especially since my young children didn't seem too crazy about it. I did appreciate that it wasn't terribly expensive.
