This was really tasty! We had it with Mexican Rice and it was heavenly. Will definitely make this again and again!

Excellent! I'll be making this one again! Thanks for posting it. I added an extra anaheim chili and a splash of liquid smoke to the sauce. I also used a tablespoon of olive oil to saute the veggies. The chicken was rubbed with a store-bought chorizo seasoning before grilling.

My whole family loved this. It was nice and spicy. I used 1/2 & 1/2 to cut down on the calories so it was a little thin and runny. Made a bechamel sauce and added the cream and then the remainder of the ingredients that had already been cooking. Turned out great

What a wonderful dish. We did 4 chicken breasts and were very disappointed that we didn't have more for leftovers... so I'll have to make it again very soon. The sauce is subtle but has a wonderful flavor. I think next time I'll try adding a touch of cayenne. Thanks for sharing, Lorac, this is definitely a keeper for us!
