This recipe is ok, but 1/4 cup of chili powder is way too much! I think 1-2T is more appropriate, unless you love spice! I also used closer to 2C of chicken stock

Love it. So easy and delicious

I have made this recipe several times, and it’s always a winner. My husband is always smoking meat, and this is a perfect use of my leftover smoked chicken.  My super finicky kids love this recipe.
