Everybody in my family gobbled it up and my husband ate the leftovers for lunch (I was not happy about that....I wanted them!). I didn't add the red pepper flakes, white pepper, ground chipotle pepper as I can't do spicy but what was left was amazing! There was a tad too much lettuce, I will half it when I make it again. I'll for sure use this chicken for other yummy dishes as well!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-10-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OrangeTag"},"reviewBody":"Wow.

The chicken was SO tender - and was similar to the stewed chicken you'd get in a Mexican restaurant.  I did add a bit of kosher salt at the end to taste.  We used it for soft tacos.
