Santa Fe Chicken
Chicken and rice are dressed up with a zippy sauce for a complete meal that’s ready in a dash. Garnished with fresh cilantro, it’s a festive weeknight supper or special occasion menu. –Jon Carole Gilbreath of Tyler, Texas

This recipe is great, I have added it to my rotation. I did make a change to it. I use diced tomatoes and then buy diced green chilies separately. I use only 1 tablespoon of the diced green chilies. This way I control the spicyness of the dish. I also use brown rice instead of white.
I make this recipe often. I prefer dicing the chicken into bite size pieces so it is easier for my children to eat. I also add a can of black beans and a cup of corn.
Amazingly delish! I'm doing low carb, so I skipped the rice and the tomatos. Since, there was no rice, I used about half the chicken stock. I replaced the tomatos with bell peppers just so I'm eating more than just chicken, lol. It was REALLY good! Having the chicken soak up all the stock made it extra juicy! This is going to be a go to while on my low carb diet!
I count 8 plus points with the cheese and 5 plus points without the cheese. So, I am going to make it and not put cheese on my portion. Just an idea!
This recipe is a little spicy for my daughters and I, but my husband and son-in-law love it which makes it a good meal to leave them when we have "Girls Night Out"
Made this for my boyfriend he loved it! Has a nice kick to it, making it again tonight

This was absolutely delicious!! I was worried the raw chicken wouldn't cook in properly with the rice and other ingredients but it cooked perfectly and had so much flavor. I did not use the less sodium chicken brother I use all natural organic broth. I also didn't use fat free cheese... yuck. Use the real stuff! I loved this meal!!
Yum. Made with salsa instead of the tomatoes simply because that is all I had.
