Notes
You can use 2 c. precooked chicken instead. Just start the recipe on step 3, then add the chicken and seasonings from step 1 and 2 along with the rest of the ingredients in step 4. The flavor will not be as good but it is still tasty. Only use ¼ teaspoon black pepper unless you like things quite peppery. Can substitute garlic with ¾ tsp. granulated garlic.
