I served this to my family and it was well received. However, I did make a few small changes. I added 2 cloves minced garlic to the mushroom mixture, omitted the pimientos and served over baked potatoes. I like to cut the potato in half length wise, fluff it up a bit then pour on the chicken mixture. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for posting. Rachel Castle

A little more effort than some recipes I've made but this is excellent and worth the extra time. I made this to use up some canned milk I had that was approaching the "best use by" date and will put in the freezer for future meals. For the pimentos, I used jarred roasted red peppers which add a bit more depth of flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This has such potential to be a 5 star recipe for my family and Rachel's suggestions (esp. the baked potatoes since my family alllll love them) make it one I'm going to try again. I love that it's freezer friendly, because I'm all about convenience these days with a broken neck. Thanks so much to you, Munchkin, and to Rachel for the great ideas!
