Paula, we loved this recipe, it was gorgeous! We served it with black bean rice and salsa for a great Saturday night meal. I used fresh chili peppers and increased the broth by 1/2 cup more. I also layered a little extra cheese between the tortilla layers. I had to use flour tortillas, but it turned out terrific. Great flavour, well written recipe, thanks so much for posting! Made for Aussie Swap :)

I also subbed rotel for the green chilles as I found out while I was in the grocery store that my fiance doesn't eat grean chille's. Go figure! Anyway, I loved the overall flavor and I added just a teaspoon of cumin to give it more depth. I did find the directions a bit hard to follow since you don't specify what the chile/chicken mixture is exactly. But fiance and I really enjoyed this dish and will make it again.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
