CHICKEN TAOS

Chicken Taos image

I got this receipe from an old little cook-book that use to belong to my mom. It was called "Man-pleasing Recipes". Anyone remember??? Well this receipe certainly pleased all the men in our family!! My father and 2 brothers just loved this, served with rice, or pasta, but rice was their preference, and a crispy salad on the side. I hope your men will enjoy as much as mine do.
