Southwest Chicken

  4.3 – 531 reviews  • Chicken Breast

This layered pistachio cake with cream cheese buttercream is quite exceptional. The pistachio flavor is strong and the layers are light, moist, and not overly sweet. It looks spectacular because to the swirled top and pistachio-coated sides of the presentation. Up to a month ahead of time, layers can be prepared, well-wrapped, and frozen.

This recipe was really good with a bit of tweaks. I added garlic, onion, and chili powder. I also added coriander, slap your mama, and ground pepper. I added green, orange and red bell peppers. Finally I added chicken broth and served it with jasmine rice. Winner winner chicken dinner.

This was rather bland like others have said. I did shred the chicken and make them into wraps. I used cojita cheese and a little taco seasoning to help.

Added a few extra spices to give it an additional kick-but that’s because our family likes it HOT!
Joseph Beck
I made this into a burrito filling. I omitted the corn, and layered the mixture on a bed of Spanish rice. Easy and delicious!
Catherine Proctor
I did not add the chili peppers and so the dish did not have much flavor. Will probably add the chili peppers next time.
Michael Holmes
I added fresh lemon thyme
Christopher Everett
Husband said ‘save that recipe. Don’t lose it’ Very high praise from him.
David Walker
I cubed the chicken and seasoned it with garlic, onion, cumin and smoked paprika before sauteing. I also used a can of seasoned beans (undrained). This went over really well with family.

Jessica Taylor
It was very bland. Why do people give recipes 5 stars after they have added many ingredients and spices? Ridiculous.
Thomas Weaver
Quite good. .spiced it up relative to the original with additional cumin, chili powder, onion powder, grated garlic, salt, chopped jalepano, chopped fresh cilantro . .but a simple, easy base to work with and improve upon!
Jeffrey Robinson
This was surprisingly good for the lack of seasonings. The chicken absorbed the tomato and bean mixture. I didn’t make it with corn because I can’t eat it. Even my daughter who is picky loved the chicken.
Janet Bailey
This is very easy and tasty but it definitely needs more seasoning such as chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and more cumin. The chicken turns out very moist!
Carly Hale
My family enjoyed this recipe! I did cut the chicken into cubes prior to cooking simply to make it easier for my kids to eat. I also added two cloves of minced garlic and some taco seasoning. It gave it a nice flavor. I served it over rice to round it out as a complete meal.
