Notes

To make this dish stovetop- Cook the chicken and onions and then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer with the lid on for 20-25 minutes. Place cheese on top and put the lid back on to melt the cheese.

Try tossing in sauteed peppers, corn or topping with fresh guacamole!
