Assume the pot should be covered when simmering, but it would have been nice to have clear instructions on this. Am I correct?

Simple and good. Had all the ingredients in the fridge or pantry so very convenient. I used chicken broth and added some coriander and garlic. Next time I’m going to try fire roasted tomatoes and/or roasted corn from Trader Joe’s. Served with warm tortillas

Simple and comforting! The whole chicken was a bit cumbersome for a weeknight so next time I'll try it with breasts. We added cilantro and tapatio in addition to the green onions and cheese. Very good!
