Okay...EXCITED!!!!
Lemme explain, I'm not a cook, no desire to become one, so I just eat my food, no extra spices or anything. I would add stuff, I just don't have any idea what to add. Anyway, I was jonesin' for a taco salad kinda thing so I says to meself, "Meself, what can I do with me Jenny food to fix this?" So I fix a BIG salad (just lettuce), add my Ranch JC dressing, heat up my SW Chicken and pour it in my lettuce. I added a tiny pinch of shredded cheese and a pinky nail sized dollop of sour cream. YUUUMMMMMMM!!! FOODGASM!! It was heaven in a big steamy bowl! And it was a lotta food. Full AND satisfied...a bonafide miracle!

Yep that SW chicken with rice and beans is the bomb. I had it today for lunch. I ate mine with a pinch (and I do mean a pinch) of shredded cheese with my salad of lettuce and mushrooms and FF blue ch dressing. YUMMMMMMMY! I get this dish once a week I like it so much

I usually don’t order the SW Chicken with Rice & Beans because it’s so dry, but this is a good idea. I’ll have to get one at my next appointment and give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ditto for me. I had the Southwestern Chicken with Rice and Beans for the first time this week and to be honest it wasn't one of my favorites so far, but after reading these tid-bits of information I think I'll give it another shot!! Thanks and I am going to keep on looking for other ideas such as this!!

Well I had it on the bed of lettuce with the tiniest dot of sour cream...it was yummy and very filing! Thanks so much!

Did you pour the rice and beans onto the lettuce as well? Sounds good. Especially with some cheese/sour cream!

I loved this and I put 1 TBL of FF Sour Cream (limited free) and mixed it in with the dish, it was amazing!!! Will definitely be eating this once a week!

I don't like the southestern chicken, it tastes like bad taco bell to me sorry!

Try it in a steamed hollowed out red pepper and bake it. Delicious.

The Southwestern Chicken,to me, is the worst Jenny food yet. Gummy rice and a very strange aftertaste ... plus, I couldn't find the chicken in it anywhere! Maybe it's because I'm used to top-notch Tex-Mex food, so this doesn't measure up and tastes extremely "fake/synthetic." I love most all of the Jenny food, but this was horrible. I had to smother it in picante sauce to get it down.

Celina, steam up a hollowed out pepper (my fav is a red one). Then warm up the SW chicken and load it in the pepper. Bake for about 15 min. at 350. Add a SMIDGE of grated cheese (more for decoration and appearance than anything else) and bake 5 more minutes. It tastes way better this way than just eating it straight.

Tried the Southwest chicken with beans and rice today (I'm in the first week of the planned menus) - YUCK! Made it into a salad and added fat free sour cream as some suggested -still awful. I made myself eat it, so I wouldn't be starving all afternoon, but I definitely won't get it again.

I had the SW Chicken & Rice today and I did not like it. I had to choke it down and thought it tasted fake too.

I think it tastes fake as well. It is BETTER in a salad, but hard to conceal that aftertaste. I think it needs reworking.
