This dish is EXCEPTIONAL. I normally shy away from strong tasting ingredients, and this one has a few, but the dish as a whole is a delightful amalgam that has its own flavor. The strong flavors are tempered by the golden raisins (Which I chopped up). My brother found the link and sent it to me from Bonaire where he was scuba diving. He sampled it at a local flavors night at the Tipsy Seagull restaurant inside the Plaza hotel. Although it only has 2 Cups of Chicken in it - It looks to be enough to feed 10 or more. We had to cut the cheese with a knife when re-heating it. I followed the recipe, but used pre-sliced smoked Gouda to line the bottom, sides and top of my 10inch round casserole, and upped the amount of mustard, Capers and Dill relish. I used 1/3 C of chopped green olives stuffed with pimento as well. I chopped 1/3 cup (packed) of the golden raisins to distribute the flavor better.

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
