Serving Times Cook the chicken through step 3 up to 4 hours ahead.
Top with cheese and heat through before serving. |
Money Savers Avocados make great
guacamole but they can often more than $1.00 apiece. To save a few
dollars, buy frozen guacamole instead or look for prepared in the
supermarket deli section. |
Serving Variation
Sprinkling chopped green chilies and onions over the
chicken before serving gives a nice flavor and a pretty look. |
