    I was a little skeptical about my husband on this one but he loved it!! It was very easy and I used canned chicken breast because I was short on time. Will definately make again. Thanks! - 1/28/09

    This is great recipe. I serve it with a fresh tossed salad and a tall pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade. - 11/15/08

    This was really good! My family loves it, I wanted to substitute it for traditional tamales that we make during the colder months and it was a good trade. - 11/10/08

    I saw this in the magazine and made it today. Love it! Very easy. Found that letting it sit for 10 minutes was even better. Will add this one to the rotation. Thanks for putting it in. - 11/7/08
