Friday night i decided to try this ditty from cooking light! We had an entire chicken’s worth of meat that had been boiled off the bone for mr terrance. So i figured we should find a way to eat it! It worked great in this recipe! Would also be a great use for beer can chicken left overs or roasted chicken! Not sure i would waste chicken breasts on it… Also hubby didn’t really like it as a meal but more of a dip with chips. I could eat it for lunch, i’m sure!
I also added quite a bit of kick since it had none! I put in 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes into the sauce. I also replace the onion with corn – mainly because we didn’t have an onion, but i also enjoy having corn in mexican casseroles!
