    Very Good
    Very delicious recipe...any suggestions on how to get the sodium decreased? I also used bonesless skinless chicken breasts instead of leftover chicken. Good stuff! - 2/17/10

    Instead of using the canned Rotel, you may be able to use fresh / frozen green chile chopped, fresh tomatoes and some cilantro.
