What a lovely meal we had with this dish. We enjoyed eating this chicken so very much. The green chiles I used were mild New Mexico green chiles, and I used pure red chile powder too, since cumin was added. The sauce added just a spicy bite, but not too much. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.

Yooper, my kids went absolutely crazy for this. I was looking for something a little different yet still comfort food to appeal to them. I'm with Denise. If you mix cheese into a recipe, you can get kids to eat just about anything. So the spicier flavors that might appeal to my wife and I can be enjoyed by the kids too due to the "blunting" effect of the Monterey Jack. I may even push the envelope a bit next time and mix a fresh jalapeno from our garden into the filling. A very simple recipe to prepare, but big on impression. Mmmm.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
