    We made this for dinner tonight, and it was good. We substituted chicken stock for the water. Next time we will use chicken theighs instead of breasts.

    Very impressed. I used chicken broth and I added a can of Kidney beans and half a bag of frozen okra!

    Wow. My family loved. Use chicken stock. Did not use the red/green peppers and added cajun spice and season salt.
