this is divine, i added sausages, carrots, and mushrooms and turned it into sausage casserole, all my kids really enjoyed it, will definitely be a regular in the colder months

i made this on a whim to go with bangers and mash - the only sub i used was vegetable broth as i didn't have any chicken...SO GOOD! thank you! :)

Really good! Needed a quick, tasty fix for my accidentally dried out chicken. My picky husband raved about the texture and taste! Thank you!
