This recipe was easy & good. I was a bit scared of the "sour milk" thing & I really dislike vinegar to begin with. But it turned out great. I doubled it so I could freeze the leftovers for the kids for their school week & I added 1 teaspoon of both cinnamon & vanilla, as I always do to any pancakes. And of course, chocolate chips for the kids & yum, it was good. My kids ate twice the amount the usually eat of the boxed stuff!

We did enjoy this recipe but as others said, it was not the normal spanish beans & rice. But it is very good when you don't know how to make the "real" thing. I kept most of the recipe the same, just changed a couple things. We did turkey kielbasa & used 3 garlic cloves, added a dash of cayenne pepper along with garlic salt & fresh cilantro. My friend who makes the "real" thing uses cilantro & I think that is what made this recipe have the yummy taste it did, next time I will use even more. I used diced tomatoes with oregano & garlic in the can. My 10 year old loved it..my 7 year old didn't like it, he ended up having a PB sandwich!

This recipe is great, but I changed it a bit. As one "rater" said, why change it so much, just make your own. Well, the idea is great but everyone has their own needs & tastes. For my family, we try to eat healthy so some of this wouldn't work. I went out on a limb, hoping it would turn out & we LOVED it even my 7 & 10 year old. I placed Skim Milk in place of the heavy cream. I chunked up the chicken & cooked it in 1 tbsp of the oil from the sun-dried tomato oil. I added ALL the chicken broth, milk, etc to the pan, & added 1 tbsp flour to thicken it up. After simmering & it began to thicken, I added the chicken to the mixture & continued cooking for a while, added 1/4 cup parmesan cheese & served over whole wheat Penne noodles. Next time we will double the sauce b/c after simmering to the desired thickness, it wasn't enough sauce. Great recipe even making it healthier.
