I've been reading your blog only a few short months, and this is the first time I'm posting to say this recipe was awesome!!!
I marinated the chicken and made a few slight changes, 2 cans of kidney beans and about 1 1/2 cups of fresh pico de gallo. I paired it with some brown rice in my rice cooker. My husband and 3 kids (9, 4, 2) loved this. It is sooo easy and the meat falls apart. Plus, it makes awesome leftovers, or is just as good in a burrito! thanks so much for posting all these great recipes!
