5 lbs chicken breasts (no bones)

Steps:

  • Chicken: Put in crock pot for 4 hours then shred and replace for 1 hour to soak up the juice.
  • Rice: Blend in the blender the following: bouillon, garlic, cilantro, green chilies, salt, butter and onion.
  • Let water come to a boil; add rice and blended ingredients. Let rest until rice is done.
  • What we did was put a tortilla in a frying pan and added cheese on it until it became slightly crisp then layered chicken, rice, romaine lettuce, fresh lime and the dressing.
  • This was a easy and very good recipe and the leftovers were great!

This recipe is a fail. The chicken was tough and the sauce was watery. I will not be making this again.

This recipe is not worth your time. The chicken was dry and the sauce was flavorless. I will not be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was burnt. I will not be making this again.
