Okay starter recipe. Had to add some chicken broth. Also added some additional veggies and simmered for longer than it called for.
I added some broth because it seemed to be missing some liquid in the ingredients. It was pretty good and I think good for variations if I make it again.
I clipped this recipe when it appeared in 1994 (!) and have been making it ever since. You might want to consider a note made in 2008 when serving it to senior guests: blanche or avoid the red onion. The other note says, "OUTSTANDING!"
delish! I used rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly.
You lost me at boneless skinless breasts. The least flavorful part of the chicken,
I doubled this recipe for the family, but still only used one can of crushed tomatoes. I used four ears of fresh corn off the Cobb as well as some bell pepper. It wasn’t flavorful enough for me, I added some Adobo and chipotle chili powder, a little salt and more garlic
