Made this today for our lunch. I cut the recipe in half and used some rotel up for the diced tomatoes but otherwise followed the directions....delicious!! With the rotel and evidently a very hot jalapeno we had a spicey dish but DH and I loved it. Definately a keeper and one I will make again on a cool day. Oh yes, I used precooked chicken that I had. Thank you for posting. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
