In this recipe, it states that a serving is one cup. However, in your recipes for Nachos and Chicken Tostada using this recipe, in the ingredients list it says one serving is 2 cups. - 8/5/09

Reply from CHEF_MEG (8/5/09)
A serving size is 1 cup. Use 2 cups for the leftovers. It should have said 2 servings. Thanks for the catch!

I thought this was really good, I don't like bell peppers so I used onion instead, and I had a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes so I used that instead. I think this would be great with almost any kind of bean you happen to have on hand. - 9/13/09

This sounds very good. However, boneless chicken breasts are expensive (and wasteful!) What changes should be made if I were to use chicken pieces with the bone in? - 9/8/09

Reply from CHEF_MEG (9/16/09)
If you use a whole chicken that's been cut into parts, just use one that's a comparable size. A two-pound chicken would be the largest I would recommend using in this recipe, otherwise you'll need to add more liquid (chicken broth is a good choice). And then save your bones for stock.

Very good. I especially like the multi-use recipe. With the planned-over tostado meal the next night, I expect I'll be making double batches of this for freezing. Side note: bell pepper is not a favorite, so one was replaced with an onion. - 8/19/09

I am not sure if I will make this again. I had read the comments last night and made it with zuccini from my garden, green pepper and onion. I also used fresh tomatoes and extra seasonings. It was just kind of ok. Nothing special. - 9/9/09

I found out I really don't like canellini beans when I made this. Next time I'll try black beans and change the spices to chili powder and cumin. It is easy to make and a good dish for company. - 10/28/09

This was a pretty good recipe, although it was fairly bland. We added (faux) salt and black pepper to our dishes and that helped a bit. Also, it's not really substantial enough on its own, really needs something to accompany it, perhaps some brown rice would go well with this. - 9/23/09

I don't know what this was really. Mine didn't look like Chef Meg's in the picture. I used fresh tomatoes but I don't know if that was the difference or not. By the time everything cooked down, it was a soupy consistency. Not what I had in mind but it was still okay and probably my fault anyway. - 9/11/09

How ironic! I am cooking this in my slow cooker at this very minute! I put it on this morning before I left for work. I used a whole chicken, though, because I had one I wanted to get out of my freezer. It already smelled yummy before I left the house! - 9/9/09

Enjoyed this very much. I halved the recipe. I used only 1/4 t. dried thyme (for half the recipe instead of 1/2 tsp.) . I also cut up pieces of chicken breast, boneless and skinless. Used 1 whole red pepper and omitted the yellow. Added a little V8 juice. Served over whole wheat pasta. - 9/25/09

This turned out OK and tasted OK (not great-but good), but I did not end up with 6 one cup servings....I ended up with barely 4 one cup servings and have no idea what I did wrong - I followed directions and did not use any substitutions. - 9/15/09

I used black beans as that was what I had on hand and it turned out great. I had cut up the chicken for easier serving and it cooked faster than I expected. I served it over brown rice and along with a green salad it was more than enough for a very filling dinner. - 10/16/09

I like this recipe for the nutrition, it is very easy to make and it tastes pretty good. However, it is just missing something for me - if I made it again, I would definitely try a variation, such as half boneless, skinless and chicken pieces with skin or some spice to interest my taste buds. - 2/14/10
