Made this again last night----- so so wonderful!! But I made a few changes that I liked alot better!!



and they are:



1. didn't have thighs so used chicken breast & it worked great.



2. instead of chili beans, I used 1 can black beans, 1 can pinto beans & 1 can of kidney beans...this was, in my humble opinion sooooo much better than the chili beans...and it looked prettier too!!!



3. Added a 15 oz. can of chicken broth.



Now - try it!!! It's so good!!
