This is a delicious and quick recipe using pre-cooked chicken. Great for a weeknight dinner. Use your own pre-cooked chicken, or buy a deli-roasted chicken...both yield about 3 cups of cooked chicken. Featured in Southern Living's 40 Years of Our Best Recipes cookbook as a Quick & Easy recipe. From some of the reviews, I think it isn't as quick and easy as they would like :). Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced |
4 green onions, thinly sliced |
1 garlic clove, pressed |
3 cups chicken, precooked and chopped |
