Lean chicken breast is easy to prep, but boneless, skinless chicken thighs would make a great substitute.
And don’t forget the toppings!
Melted cheese, creamy sour cream and crushed tortilla chips round out this new family favorite.

Make it a meal and serve with Real Cornbread (see associated recipe).
Don’t shy away from the poblano peppers.
They offer a mild heat but deliver a depth of flavor you could’t find in regular green bell peppers.

The broccoli florets absorb the creamy soup base, while the chicken stays tender.
This easy dinner recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
