Maggie’s Tips:
*This recipe freezes very well.
Double the amount of the chicken gravy and place in freezer for later.
For a meal group: make the gravy and include a can of pineapple tidbits
or mandarin oranges, a baggie of chow mein noodles, baggie of onion and
tomato. Write additional topping suggestions on baggie for each family
to finish getting toppings.
**I have also been in a rush and cooked my chicken in a Crockpot
until tender. Then I just placed it in the gravy mixture. Both ways
taste great. Keep this meal simple because it’s a delicious recipe and
very easy!
