This has the potential for being a really good recipe, but it was pretty bland. I used bone in, skin on breasts. Next time I would use skinless and boneless. It needs way more chili! You could barely taste it. I would add at least one or two jalapenos in addition to the canned chilis. This has a lot of potential but needs to be tweaked.
