This was really good! I did alter the recipe some (and lower the calories) by using 2 shredded 3oz chicken breasts instead of 4 tenders (slow cooked in red tomatoes and green chilis for flavor until they could be shredded). I also melted some pepper jack cheese over top of the peppers once they were loaded with the cream cheese mixture and chicken. It turned out great and even my picky husband enjoyed it! :) I will definitely make again - great light solution when you're craving Mexican food!
