I won't leave stars since it's probably just our taste...The dish was good, but very tomatoe-y and a bit heavy. I wasn't sure how much chili powder and coriander to use. Since it's listed twice, I went ahead and put it in twice, but didn't put the full amount the 2nd time (seemed like a LOT of coriander). I used 2 large chx breasts cut into cubes. If you don't like spicy, would definitely cut down on the cayenne; it was fairly spicy (and I like spicy). I served over rice with cheese and sour cream on top. For those who like tomatoes, I think it's worth making! Also, makes at least 4-5 servings, IMO.
