Great recipe! The only thing I changed was to use shredded chicken breast, then followed the recipe right on down, which, in spite of the long list of ingredients & the detailed preparation, actually came together rather easily! Thanks for sharing this very nice keeper of a recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
