Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I 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

Very very yummy!! So easy to make and everyone will love it. I've already made it twice in the last two weeks. I only wish that it served more than 4.

We substituted turkey cubes for the chicken, used green enchilada sauce, and added diced green chiles, corn and sliced olives. Everyone LOVED it!!! Awesome recipe!!!

So easy and delicious! I had some uncooked chicken breasts so I just cubed them and cooked them in the skillet, then proceeded with the recipe (omitting the green peppers because we don't like them). I also used peach/pineapple salsa instead of picante sauce and my whole family loved it! I will definitely be making this again, but I will be looking for a healthier enchilada sauce though, since the one my husband got had msg in it.

I substituted homemade salsa for the picante. I could not find corn tortillas, so I used flour tortillas. I also used leftover beef from the contest winning French Dip Recipe instead of chicken. Delicious!

Delicious, easy, and fun recipe!! I used red pepper rather than green, and peach mango salsa rather than picante sauce which gave the dish a light sweetness.
