    I made this with a few slight varitions and it was great, the kids even loved it. Opt'ed for no rice , only used Low Sodium Chicken Broth, Chicken breast strips, 2 cans rotel ( removed some tom's) 2 cans black beans, and sweet corn. Was great !! Can't wait to make again. - 8/11/07

    I used brown rice, which gives a heartier texture, and a mixture of chicken and vegetable broth. Also used blue tortilla chips with sesame seeds. Wow - this was healthy and fantastic! It's even better the 2nd day. - 8/1/07
