This has really good flavour as I used fresh cilantro. I did this on the stove top and used different sorts of chicken pieces but think it would be better with chicken breast cut into cubes. I used my own homemade chicken stock and left out the canned green chillies as I didn't have any. I used navy beans cooked from dry, and cayenne for the red hot pepper in about half the amount (we don't like spicy). I can imagine this would be excellent with the cheese.

Delicious and perfect for a cool fall evening. The recipe was reduced by half. The chicken and onion were cooked in a small amount of oil until done, the other ingredients added to the crock-pot and dinner was ready and waiting when I got home from work. This made a wonderful meal served with a tossed salad. Made for *My 3 Chefs*
