This has become a regular meal in our household. It's quick, easy, and very tasty. I love it with some sour cream and cheese on top.

It turned out thicker than pictured but I had torn the page out of the magazine and was missing the correct amount of chicken. Maybe I had too much. Also, I served bacon bits and grated Mexican blend cheese for diners to sprinkle on for extra flavor.
