My family loved this recipe. I hate when people rate a recipe and then tell how they changed it, but now I'm doing the same thing, so here goes. I used a whole chicken plus 2 more breasts and I used diced tomatoes with seasoning in them. The blend of spices was great and I'm excited to eat the leftovers tonight.
