This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out great. I also added some chopped onions and green peppers to the filling.

This was a great and easy recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they were perfect. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper for some extra heat. It was a great weeknight meal and I will definitely be making it again.
