About
This recipe has been handed down from my great-grandmother and it’s been a favorite of mine for years. It's perfect for fall weather, easy on the budget, and will fill you up with a small portion.
It all starts with a great roasted chicken recipe which you can find on my website.
Credit goes to my great-grandma, Leona McCliggott.
