    I love this recipe, but I don't care for the frozen grilled chicken. I tend to grill a bunch of chicken that I can use all week for recipes and this works great when I do that. I doubled the recipe and took it to work for a pot luck and many people asked for the recipe. Yummy.

    Really good. Two of my kids enjoyed it so much that they asked for it the next day for lunch! My other children were either too small or too picky to try it. But overall, a success.
