This recipe is from Peggy. She says, “I made this the first time just like it said using chicken (I don’t do turkey) and no cilantro (Harry does do fresh herbs). I thought it was great. The second time I made it, I used chicken, onions and grated cheddar cheese (no peppers or Swiss cheese). It was good then also.” Serve with this Easy Mexican Rice.
