Made this last night for a quick little dinner. I used good seasonings zesty italian dressing to marinate the chicken. This is definately a keeper. I grilled the chicken on the Forman grill along with some onions and topped the flour tortilla as instructed. Thank you for a easy and delicious meal. Made for My-3-Chefs Nov. 2009.

I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls ages 16,14, and 12...My 16 year old has acted like she was 30 since she was 2, and strongwilled as well...so life is never dull around here.
I love surfing the web and taking care of my children. If I had a month off I would take my kids to as many vacation spots as I could and enjoy our time together.
Since my children are younger, I could use kid friendly recipes and delicious casserole dishes that I can make for me when I have to cater to their favorite foods.
