Very good! The whole family liiked it. My 13 year old son did most of the work preparing the meal. It was a huge hit, and I'm sure we'll make it again!

These are fantastic! I followed the ingredients exactly (except I did cut back on the hot sauce). They turned out perfectly for us and I will be making these over ande over again. Thanks for sharing it.

Yum! I used bbq sauce, since I had some leftover bbq chicken on hand that worked great. It was filling and delicious! We are excited to try buffalo sauce next time. Thanks for posting!

These were very good and easy to make. I made mine with one large chicken breast, and then used some Morningstar Chicken Strips to make a vegetarian version for my daughter. I cut back a little bit on the chili powder, but they were still a little spicy for the kids' taste, but I thought they were great. The sour cream and cheese cools in down just enough. Thanks for a yummy dinner idea.
