Helpful Hints

• If you wish, use a stewing chicken or a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Pull meat from bones and chop. Boneless chicken breast, lean ground turkey or chicken are also acceptable.
• Suggested low-sodium brands for this recipe include:  Green Giant® red kidney beans, Nature’s Promise® or Newman’s Own salsa, Health Valley® canned, low-sodium chicken broth, Del Monte® canned, diced, no-salt-added tomatoes
• Freeze 1 cup portions for a quick meal later.
• Recipe is easy to reduce for a smaller batch.
• If you are on a protein-limited diet, adjust this recipe by decreasing the portion of meat and cheese.

I had a patient make this recipe and reported it was excellent. She used red peppers in place of the green and added only 2T chili powder.

Very good! And quick to fix. Also found Eden Organic brand kidney beans without added salt. I will definitely make this dish again. Might be a good filler for flour tortillas as a fajita if you do not like the rice.
