Easy to put together and delicious! I was surprised that the recipe had no chicken broth in it, but there was enough liquid from the other ingredients to make a a stew-like consistency. I used a 10 oz. can of Rotel, and 3 chicken thighs and 3 chicken legs. A bit spicy, but just the right amount. This is a keeper! Made for the Dining Daredevils for ZWT5.
