This recipe came to me when I was living in Spain with my two daughters and my then-husband. Our officers' wives' club put together a cookbook, and this particular recipe was one of my family's favorites. Jean Petersen, who is now deceased, is the wonderful lady who submitted this recipe for the cookbook, and I now pass it along...

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I substituted them with onions. The chicken still turned out great.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.
