This is a recipe that my mom had when I was growing up. I think she got it from a lady at our church. I, of course, have added some things and deleted some things to make this my own :) I use this recipe a lot for company because they look "fancy" but are so easy. They taste yummy too! (I usually do 2 chicken thighs and 2 chicken breasts..only because I think the dark meat adds some flavor to it)
Dinner tonight was all three of the following posts. Crescent Chicken Squares, Italian Potatoes and Green Bean Bundles. This is a nice little dinner for guests...because it looks cute and different and is easy to make! :)
I found you blog through a post on facebook from a mutual friend Gina Pope. I looked through some of your earlier posts and love what I see! I will def. be following your blog and will be happy to pin to pinterest the ones I love, starting with this easy chicken dish. I am always on the look out for a dish that uses shredded chicken because usually once a week I cook a whole chicken in the crockpot and shred up the meat, so I am excited to try this one out and see what my family thinks.
ReplyDeleteIs it pimento pepper, or pimento cheese?
