My sister got this recipe from someone at work and passed it along to me. We adjusted the amount of spices according to our own tastes, added the mushrooms and due to the ingredients, gave it a new name. The best thing about it is that you can make the chicken from scratch, per the recipe, or use canned or leftover chicken. It is also just as good cold as it is hot and reheats easily in the microwave. Pumpernickle is a perfect bread accompaniment. |
