I'm not sure where she got this recipe, but it's one of my favorites. Mom tweaked it over the years by omitting the tomatoes and replacing the chicken legs for breast meat, even Maw Maw liked it better. I can remember eating it with a big ole slice of hot buttered sweet corn bread and thinking it was the best thing to ever cross my lips. Maw Maw is in her nineties now but she still gets a smile on her face when I bring her a bowl. Hope ya'll enjoy!
