Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Adding a fresh serrano chile ensures the final dish will have a little bit of heat. If you prefer a milder version, the serrano chile can be omitted.
  • tip 2
    White rice, mashed potatoes and buttered noodles all make nice accompaniments to this chicken dish.
