I came up with this while trying to figure out dinners for my husband's monthly club meeting. Creamy and very flavourful. It's written as cooked, but you could use chicken thighs or breasts, chicken broth, any seasoning mix, even sub the cream for salsa, the variations are endless. Please feel free to experiment, and then let me know what you did. The picture is made with chipotle salsa, black beans and corn, with a taco seasoning and cheddar over the chicken.
