    Just what I was looking for! I had 2 different versions from my Cuban mother-in-law and needed to bring them both together. I did add one diced potato to stretch it because I only had 2 chicken breasts defrosted. My husband loved it! - 9/22/09

    I call this Chicken Picadillo. Yummy with yellow rice, black beans, and mango salad! - 10/31/08

    I grew up on this and it's my favorite dish. We use grape juice in lieu of the wine (I don't drink so I don't have wine at home). I do use diced potatoes. Remember portion control :) - 1/6/08
