“This is really, really good,” according toLori Finnila. “I used homemade bread crumbs and homemade cream of chicken soup that I think added to this wonderful recipe.”
“We loved it,” saysStarr LaPradd. “I didn’t have bread crumbs, so I crushed up Ritz Crackers instead. Also used canned chunk white chicken because I had it on hand. Will be making this again!!”
