I have been wanting to make this really bad but nobody around here seems to carry the salsa verde. One store had only a HOT version. I want to make sure my kids will be able to eat it. My son loves hot stuff, but I don't think my daughter does. I prefer it not too hot myself. I will check another place before I give up!

One of the directors here made it for a meeting one time and it was very good! I believe she used the hot stuff too.

NP I actually had the cookbook by me cause I was trying to plan out my menu for the next 2 weeks.

Oooh, I love that recipe! That's a good one and has some heat to it, which I love!!!

That's what we had for dinner tonight! It's a family favorite. When I make it at shows I cook the chicken in the Deep Covered Baker, so it's less in and out of the skillet. Makes the cook time a little less too.

It was very good...again, the cilantro really sets it off and adds that "something" that makes it oh so good!

Next time, though, I don't think I will use chicken thighs...just not my favorite. I will substitute boneless skinless breasts.

Thanks again for getting me the recipe!!
This site is just the bomb!

My family loved it. I didn't use chicken thighs I used the breast and it was very good.

That's what I made tonight too! I've only made it with chicken breasts. Tonight it wasn't as spicy because I only had regular corn on hand and didn't have salsa verde (darn! That's my favorite part!). So I just used Tastefully Simple's Corn and Black Bean Salsa. It was good, but not as good as the "real "recipe. Oh well, at least I made something tonight!
