CHICKEN CONTINENTAL



Chicken Continental image

My mother found this recipe on the can of cream of chicken soup about 35 years ago. She used to make it for Sunday dinners and it was a family favorite. I don't know if the name is made up or if it was the original name on the can of soup. I have seen and tasted similar versions to this, but this is the original and best tasting. It may be a tad more prep time, but well worth the effort.
