I first tasted this awesome recipe while visiting family in Kansas City Missouri, it is /was from a famous restaurant there called Stephesons Restaurant. I fell in love with it, then I found out they had a little cookbook, and the recipe was in it, I had to have it. I understand the restaurant has since closed, but I am still enjoying the recipe because I have the cookbook, I did make a couple of changes to the recipe, but it is good anyway you serve it in my book. It is definately a family favorite.

    Note you can add 1 can of cream of chicken soup undiluted when you add the hot milk to give you more gravy. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles with biscuits or hot dinner rolls.

    Please note: Original recipe called for non fat powdered milk, but I find it easier to use evaporated or regular milk. Also sometimes I like to add the addition of sliced bell peppers, onions, & sliced mushrooms with the chicken during the last 45 minutes of cooking time.
