This recipe was incredibly easy and we really enjoyed it! I had to leave out the mushrooms (BF loathes them), but prepared the rest of the recipe as-written. This was the perfect amount of spice for us. The chicken was fabulous served over long grain brown rice with sauce over all of it...Mmmmm! Thanks, Skooch! This is a keeper and will go on the quick, but fabulous list! :)

This was excellent! I served it over plain long grain rice with some chicken bullion added to the water. The mushrooms in it tasted fantastic!

Meal was outstanding RealGood!! I put a bit of a twist on it by lightly seasoning B4 browning a pinch of salt lemon pepper regular pepper used chicken thighs cutted strips. Before I put Rotel in I mixed in 2 dashes of Balsamic Vinegar wit Rotel--a little spinach chopped red onions and sweet onions/garlic. Sped it up wit Redhead leaf lettuce @ last 5 minutes of cooking on stove top, I only simmered 20min instead of 25. Used no Rice mushrooms/mozzarella, Spaghetti was used, I place strips of Velveeta cheese on top of cooked spaghetti added chicken Rotel sauce mix then put sharp cheddar on top put in 350 degree oven for bout 20-25 min. or until cheese melted into a creamy sauce. My daughter and I enjoyed this very much (I MEAN WE GRUBBED) Try it sure you'll like it.

Very easy to make, I used spinach instead of mushrooms, sprinkled about 1/2 tsp of Cumin over cooked chicken, added a can of black beans with the rotel and served over brown rice, it was a hit for the whole family and that's tough to do with 8 and 14 year old boys + hubby! It's definitely going into my weekly rotation!!

This was really easy to make and so good! I paired it with Rice a Roni chicken garlic rice and spinach. This made a great, filling meal that was less than 400 calories.
