<p>A twist on a Latin American classic, this Picadillo Chicken uses tender simmered chicken with a little touch of sweetness from raisins. Serve over rice and top with slivered almonds and a generous sprinkling of Sargento®&nbsp;Shredded Nacho &amp; Taco Cheese.</p>

  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds
  • Hot cooked rice (optional)
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Nacho & Taco Cheese
