Santa Fe Chicken

Last night I made Santa Fe Chicken (pg. 130). Loved it!!! It's a great alternative to a Mexican casserole. The thing I liked was that it didn't use a cream of anything soup. I already have several recipes that use those, so it was nice to find something yummy without it! The ingredients were all simple. My only complaint was that it called for chicken broth, but you don't cook the chicken before you make the dish, so I had to use canned broth. I'm trying to be a real penny pincher these days and was upset that I had to buy that!

Here are all the ingredients (my changes: I always use brown rice instead of white, and I did not use any cilantro - I'm sure the cilantro would have been good though! Also, I added a little more cheese than it called for.)

Very simple, one dish recipe. Just had to flip the chicken about half way through.

Finished recipe
It would have been a one dish dinner, but I was trying to get it made, then had to go pick up my son from school and go to a play date, so I had to put it in another dish to refrigerate. That's why it looks a little messy.

Yum yum! I'll definitely make this again!

Next up? Something without chicken! I think maybe a pasta dish.
