Flipping through some 1973 recipe cards, I just knew I could do better than what I was seeing, so here it is. Made it for dinner and was great! No magic for this, just follow along. You will need an electric mixer. Serve with a salad and desert or take to your next pot-luck. Enjoy! Ingredients:

1 cup chicken, cooked & shreaded |
