Yummy - only takes 30 min to prepare and an hour to simmer on stove - using chicken breasts keeps the fat and calories low, but because of the liquid keeps them moist. Not too spicey - just right for most people (El Pato brings the heat, so substitute regular tomato sauce if you wish - use anaheim chilis for less heat)
