    This is my go to shredded chicken, it makes the whole house smell unbelievable! I use it for nachos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. I do add a tsp or two of cumin every batch. The pico can be made with fresh roma tomatoes as well.

    Emeril's recipes are always great!.. This one was no exception! One thing I did was use store bought tortilla chips to make it easier. The chicken did have a lot of liquid so at the last 30 min. I left it un-covered. I also added a few dashes of cumin while it simmered. The flavor was great but I wasn't sure why only the first layer had queso sauce; it was a little dry on the underneath chips. I served with some hot refried beans so people could put it on top if they wanted, sour cream, scallions and pico-de-gallo.

    so good, so good! It comes out more like a casserole, which I think is better for reheating. Yum!

    Like so many others, I just made the chicken which will be my go-to recipe from now on. Next time I'll cut the salt in half, though. Stupendous!

    I used beef instead and it was amazing! This is our favorite meal. It takes a litte longer to cook but well worth the wait. By far the best Nacho's I've ever had!

    My parents loved this chicken.

    I made the chicken & paired it with rice and carrots. DELICIOUS. I swapped lemon for lime, decreased the garlic, and used extra broth. I added the carrots to the chicken/broth near the end so they could steam in the flavor. When ready, I poured the broth into a small pitcher and sprinkled it over the whole dish when serving.

    I skipped the other things because.. it was just too many steps for a new dish. I'll probably try them later.

    Next time, if I keep the leftover sauce to finish the dish, I will use something to thicken it, since it poured like water.

    Angelia_24,
    While you *could* make your own tortilla chips, that would be a little more complicated. If you read down the recipe, you'll see it's a typo--later on, you're instructed to put the tortilla *chips* in the casserole. Buying chips is the easy solution.

    Sounds good and I want to make these for superbowl but I have one question, this might sound stupid but do you fry the tortillas to make chips before you put in the oven or do they cook in the oven into chips?
