* Deb's notes: I use chicken breasts (7), but I think thighs would be great in here too, or like the recipe calls for, 'assorted chicken parts'. I use Pace Picante sauce, and a red pepper instead of green (we like the red better). This makes a LOT of sauce - would be great with some mashed cauliflower or celery root on the side, and broccoli. You can even omit the cheese, which I think I may do next time as it's just not needed, the sauce is that good.
