I like chicken. It is just so many things you can do with chicken. I found this recipe in "A Taste of Home" magazine some years back. I wrote it down and probably left out a few steps but did my best to duplicate it and I personally think it turned out very well. I love it even though maybe I did leave out a few steps!
