I had some Chorizo for a Thermofun recipe, but I didn't have any chicken, but I found this yummy recipe instead. Definite keeper.

Jean Misko says
We had this tonight. I used low fat cream cheese and because of this I had a lot of sauce. The flavour is truly wonderful. A lovely Sunday night meal. Next time I won't add the milk, just the cream cheese.
