Terrific recipe! I haven't had Pollo Fundido in 20 yrs. since my sis moved away from a town that had an insanely good Mexican restaurant. It's true that this would be greater with shredded chicken, but the diced works and is quicker (to me.) I almost doubled the sauce part of the recipe since my family LOVES saucy foods, and I was out of jalapenos so I just used a tablespoon or so of green Tabasco in the sauce. I also used about double the spices in the filling because we like spice and flavor. My 2 and 3 year old boys ate EVERYTHING and asked for more. I'll be making this again and again!

Overall this was pretty good. Next I will coat with olive oil and bake instead fry to make it more healthier. The Cheese was good but, it dry out after a while and was not good for leftovers in micro- wave so next time I will use a different recipe for the cheese cream sauce. Overall husband and I thougt this was okay with few adjustments of our liking. Filling was excellent.
