    Ok, am having this right now and it is really good!!

    I sauteed some sweet onion (about 1/2 a cup) and 2 cloves garlic before adding the chicken in to cook. Just to add some more flavor. Also, I used the low sodium taco seasoning and used 3 tsp of it. I also had a little sliced jalapeno on the side.
