CREAMY MEXICAN CHICKEN

Creamy Mexican Chicken image

This is a recipe I just tried last night and my husband wouldn't quit raving about! It's easy to make, light on calories, and great for the whole family. It can be made spicier or milder depending on you taste. We like it very spicy, so we added some cayenne before putting it in the oven.
