I hade a little more than 2 cups of shredded chicken breast in the freezer, so I used that after chopping it up! AND, after following the recipe right on down, we had A VERY NICE SUPPER for 3, with a bit left over for lunch the next day! I quartered home-grown cherry tomatoes (gift from a friend) & honey Dijon mustard (my usual standard) ~ Thanks for a very satisfying meal! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe tag]
