Submitted by Lee in Texas

"This is one of my families' favorites. You can make it just as spicy or non spicy as you like by varying the amount of jalepenos added"

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sauted
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 can low-fat cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can low-fat cream of chicken soup
• 1 can chopped green chili
• 1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 cup chopped onion

directions

1. Saute chicken breasts in oil sprinkling lightly with garlic powder and cumin, about 5-8 minutes per side.

3. Deglaze saute pan with one cup chicken broth and add soups, chiles, and onion.
4. Simmer sauce on low heat 30 minutes.
5. If desired add two diced jalepenos at this point.
