Friends rave every time I make this dish. It's a comfort food recipe, and I especially enjoy making it on cold or rainy days. I often use a whole chicken cut into pieces and skinned. You can make the store-bought chicken stock taste more like homemade by adding some fresh herbs and parsley and simmering until it's reduced by half.
It's the savory goodness of a beef burrito with the ease of an all-in-one dinner. Let everyone top it off their own way with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato and creamy avocado.
