This was sooooo easy and sooooo yummy on our first very cool night of Fall. Click time to comment :)

*Food and meal-times shared have always been thought of as a closer kind of communication than simply talking to people, without eating together.*

  1. Where do you get chicken broth? Is it in a can at the store? I'm having fun with the Arnn's kitchen. I'll have to take pictures to send to you. Fixing baked barbeque chicken for dinner tonight. Dean is excited. :-)

  2. This recipe is easily halved....as it does not freeze well. Half would serve four healthy appetites with a side salad and fresh bread.
