Quick and easy to make on a weeknight with leftover cooked chicken. I felt this could use a little more seasoning, maybe garlic and/or cayenne pepper. Not to make it spicy hot, just to add a little more flavor.

Great old stand by recipe. Goes together so quickly. Best to use chicken not from can. I cut up the chicken in small bites and it cooks right in the pan. I admit I struggle with my cooking not coming easily to me. Can always count on this one. Kids, who are now grown up, have enjoyed this too.
