Chicken thighs are a juicier, less expensive alternative to boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They're used to perfection in this Mexican-inspired dish. — Jeanne Trudell, Del Norte, Colorado

I made this today for my family and friends. It was very flavorful. However...I did make some changes. Instead of flour I used cornstarch. (We don't eat anything with flour). Also, I had to add much more spices. I can only imagine how bland it would have been if I'd left the recipe as is.......Also, I added cilantro in as the onions sauteed.I served with fajita rice and re-fried beans. HUGE hit with the whole family and our friends.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I love making chicken in different ways, and this one is a nice addition to my recipe box. I did use chicken breasts instead of thighs and baked it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Chicken came out juicy and the sauce was extremely flavorful. There is quite a lot of sauce in the dish, so making some rice as a side would be a great complement.

Okay, so this was neither simple or delicious. It took awhile to prepare. Why bother browning it when the sauce just makes it all mushy anyway? It was bland and pasty. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This was awesome. I went a little far on the jalapenos. Next time a little less. The sauce was incredible. Bueno.
