This was one of my mom's recipes. It's a little bit different than those already on 'Zaar, but every bit as good. Sometimes, if I'm in a rush, I'll use cooked chicken breast strips (found in the refrigerated meat section) . I prefer white meat. That being said, you can also tear up a rotisserie chicken if pressed for time. My mom used to poach boneless chicken breasts. Any way you make it, it's good & tasty (as per my mom's notation). Note - prep time does not include cooking the chicken.
