This is a very simple recipe to make. We really enjoyed it. I did however use oil to make the gravy instead of butter or margarine. I put the chicken broth and green chilis into the blender to puree because my daughter cannot stand chunks. We also used a mexican blend cheese to give it a little color. Thanks for this one. It is a do over and over again kind of recipe.
