    I really enjoyed this recipe. DH did not like it as well but he is not excited about Mexican food. My daughter and I really thought it was great. - 3/27/13

    Incredible!
    Wonderful. Didn't use cilantro. Used about half of the sour cream. Mixed sour cream into chicken mixture. Will make again. Thanks for the recipe. - 6/18/12
